Almunther has never won in 10 starts and ran poorly in two starts over hurdles during the winter. AL HAWRAA landed a 1m1f Hamilton handicap in very good style before finding an extra 3f beyond her at Musselburgh. She looks to have as a good a chance as any in an open contest. Box Maxwell is a lightly-raced maiden whose run behind Framley Garth at Doncaster could be given a boost earlier but Dose rarely runs away from the all-weather circuit where she's won a couple of minor events. Beverley Bullet was in good form last summer winning three times, all on ground with plenty of give. This week's rain will have aided his cause and he can get into contention.
