Propagation has changed stables since a neck defeat at Ffos Las where he was headed in the final strides. Willing To Please won a Redcar claimer in June and returned to form with a good run here last month but five-times winner How Bizarre ran a shocker at Musselburgh last time when a long way behind fourth-placed MY THOUGHT. The latter didn't get the run of the race that day and can add to this season's victories at Thirsk and Redcar. Finally Mine has never won while One Last Hug did better over a longer trip at Hamilton last week.
