Well beaten in better company on his comeback at Musselburgh, RASAMAN is back on the same mark as when winning over 6f here last season and Jim Goldie's charge gets the nod. Pearl Nation is also a course winner and is partnered by one of the leading amateurs while recent Yarmouth winner Azrael has claims back over 7f. Space War could get involved if at his best and Sunraider has tumbled down the weights, but it's hard to make much of a case for any of the remainder.
