Cairnshill beat Tawseef by six lengths at Carlisle last month but is still racing from out of the handicap. Allbarnone hasn’t been seen since winning this last year off a 4lb lower mark and fellow veteran Rolling Maul also has an absence to overcome. Stop The World is still a maiden but should be winning soon, though is stepped up in grade here. CANYON CITY (NAP) is tough and genuine and wasn’t stopping when scoring over 2m7f at Haydock two weeks ago. He’s been raised 5lb but Bryony Frost keeps the partnership intact and her mount may have too much pace for Robin The Raven, who made a winning return to hurdling at Warwick but has gone up 8lb in the weights.
