Quick N Quirky has faced some tough tasks since winning at Musselburgh in May. He's A Dreamer and Ordinal also have their sights lowered, though both may be in the handicapper's grip at present. INVERMERE has a good record on sharp tracks and got back to winning ways over course and distance at the start of the month. Only raised a pound, Richard Fahey's filly can go in again. This is obviously tougher than the maiden that Birkdale won at Hamilton but he's on an upward curve and Auxiliary and Brockholes could also figure.
