Scurr Mist has been busy this month and won here 13 days ago. He also justified favouritism at Wolverhampton on Friday but has collected a penalty for that. Glasgon beat Dalby Spook, who runs earlier on the card, over course and distance last time but Outlaw Torn has gone up in the weights, despite not winning. DEVIOUS SPIRIT was only beaten a neck by Fleckerl at Windsor two weeks ago. The winner completed his hat-trick in a higher grade at Sandown on Saturday so that form has a solid look about it and the Intikhab gelding can get off the mark this evening. Mash Potato has each-way claims but Billy Ranger isn't really progressing, though trainer and jockey have teamed up to good effect lately.
