Official ratings suggest The Osteopath, runner-up to Fremen over a mile here last month, is the one to beat in this. MOODY TUNES had the latter well behind when making all over a similar trip at Hamilton last time, however, and Elaine Burke's eight-year-old can follow up today. Baby Driver is still a maiden and was beaten in a seller at Catterick on his latest start, while Bajan Pride has also been beaten at the lowest level recently and isn't in the same form as when successful in a handicap on this card 12 months ago when with Richard Fahey. The other pair are likely to struggle at the weights.
