It's lady rider's night and jockey bookings may prove as important as form on this evening's card. Few of the riders in this opener, part of an international series, will be familiar to British punters but Ireland's Kate Harrington is one and she appears to have got the plum ride on course winner GONE WITH THE WIND (NAP), who goes unpenalised for a recent Ayr victory. The Name's Bond has changed stables and showed a bit more last time at Newcastle but Richard Guest's pair Outlaw Torn and Ted's Brother are woefully out of sorts. Eeny Mac may be best of the rest.
