Few have looked like winning recently though Glendown was only beaten a nose over the minimum trip at Beverley. RIVER USK won on soft going at the latter track back in May and has run well here subsequently. He gets a speculative vote back down in trip. Sugar Hill Babe has posted moderate efforts either side of winning at Bath but Tellus won at Pontefract when last racing over 6f while Umming N' Ahing is preferred to Captain Cuddles on the prevailing ground.
