Winning bumper and hurdler Starplex didn't run badly over this trip at Ayr but is likely to find this on the short side again. Somnambulist ran his best race to date over this track and trip on soft ground last time and Keith Dalgleish should find a race for him soon while there looked to be something amiss with Testbourne when last seen in a Sandown handicap as he'd run better than that in maidens. Irish raider Unite The Clans hasn't shown much since transferring from Dubai so this can go to TORCELLO, who looked in need of experience on his debut at Carlisle but stayed on nicely when getting the hang of things.
