Cuillin opened her account at Wolverhampton on her first start since June and should go well again. Debbonair looks worth another try over today’s longer trip having placed over 1m2f for the third time in succession while Cheeky Rascal has been placed over a shorter trip here the last twice. Something went amiss with Royal Star at Salisbury back in April and she has her first start since. It would be no surprise if she figured now handicapping but LORD HALIFAX failed to act in the heavy ground when sent off favourite at Yarmouth on his handicap bow and gets another chance having been beaten only a neck at Wolverhampton before that.
