Troubled Soul has been knocking on the door over a variety of distances but still looks a few pounds too high. Dontminddboys could be interesting off bottom weight after an improved showing at Market Rasen but Caltex has changed stables twice since arriving from Ireland and has become disappointing. Scotchtown remains out of sorts but the handicapper has given a chance to CLONDAW WESTIE and he runs over this intermediate distance for the first time since scoring at Stratford just under a year ago.
