Yul Finegold only won a lowly seller at Chepstow last time and Last Echo has been raised 10lb for winning easily at Epsom. El Bravo found only one too good at Musselburgh last time and should be thereabouts but BIKINI ISLAND makes more appeal. The latter makes her handicap debut having been beaten only a nose at Chester on her latest start and Hugo Hunt has ridden a winner for the yard this season. Polytrack winner Celestial Bay could go well along with Red Dragon.
