Rain Cap has been in good form over 7f and won at Musselburgh two runs ago though previous attempts at today’s distance fail to inspire confidence. Deconso’s recent victory at Carlisle came in an amateurs’ race but MAC AILEY placed in a higher grade when only beaten a length at Ayr last week. He handles soft going and may well end a long losing run. Tefnut has shown no improvement for a slide down the weights and takes a drop in trip.
