It was a poor seller that Smart Mover won at Musselburgh where he only just clung on in a tight finish. Celebration made a fair start at Newcastle but hasn't shown much since which is why he starts off in handicaps off a lowly mark. MININGGOLD (NAP) won a maiden here early last month and has run in much better company in two subsequent starts, including the Super Sprint last time. This is a massive drop in class and she can gain her second course victory. Millennium Falcon scored at Thirsk in May and is another taking a drop in class though she doesn't appear to have improved.
