Souls In The Wind won a maiden here in July but has been well beaten in all subsequent starts. Be Bold pops up every now and then but was beaten in a seller last time and though Jacksonfire would probably win this on his run at Chepstow on his penultimate start he's still a maiden after 21 runs. RACQUET has won twice at Ayr in recent weeks and wasn't far behind Dodgy Bob at Carlisle last time. A big run from the winner in the opening division would boost his chances and he can return to winning ways. Dutch Dream has won three times in her career, all on this track. Potential punters would need to forgive a poor effort here last time but that looked a blip and she'll be difficult to keep out of the money.
