GRACIE'S GAMES has been slowly working her way back to form and ran well at Nottingham last time, despite finding 5f too sharp. She has to be the selection in a very modest affair as four of her five previous wins have been off higher marks. Old-timer Methaaly is probably waiting for the all-weather season to get back into full swing, even though he is better treated on Turf, while Baltic Gin doesn't appear to be improving and finished last here on her latest start. Jackie Love, placed over 7f here in the spring, may be best of the rest though a market move for the returning Valley Dreamer would be interesting.
