BIrd On The Wire has solid form in the book but has only visited the winner's circle on one occasion when scoring at Doncaster earlier this year. He does usually run his race though and is a leading contender with connections applying a first-time tongue tie and head gear. TOKARAMORE will be all the better for her reappearance run and enjoys a healthy record around this track. She ran well here on her penultimate start under today's partner when runner-up in a similar contest and can go one better. West Lawn is also a course and distance winner, whilst one to note is the solid Fraterculus who ran well on a first start for his new stable which is currently in hot form.
