Made For You may be suited by a step back up in trip but was pulled up at Fakenham after winning a small race at Musselburgh. Bollin Neil has to go on the shortlist having run out a ready winner over track and trip last month but he is effectively carrying 10lb more today. Flexi Furlough is returning from an absence but his yard is in decent form, though GOLDEN COSMOS is preferred. Richard Newland’s maiden has caught the eye the last twice and may finally becoming accustomed to new surroundings. Hard Iron arrives on a hat-trick after a couple of wins at Ayr but is upped in grade and raised a further 8lb.
