Three-times course winner Flying Moon is on a long losing run though is dropping to a winnable mark. We Still Believe has a 5lb penalty for scoring at Ripon last week, with Mac Ailey just over two lengths behind, but has won from higher marks. CHINESE SPIRIT is penalised 4lb for scoring over a mile at Musselburgh though he'd been dropped 2lb for this previously so gets the nod in a tight handicap. Jaminoz keeps climbing the weights without winning and his only success came on heavy ground while Blazer Two is better over further.
