Midnight Rambler doesn't look an easy ride but has been showing gradual improvement and the drop back to 7f might help as he didn't appear to get home over 1m on heavy ground at Windsor last week. Ainmire has been keeping better company than stablemate Mornin Mr Norris, second at Carlisle last month, and has decent claims on his handicap debut while Queenie's Home was third over 1m in this grade at Redcar last time and can't be ignored. But ALL YOURS may have fallen to a decent mark and is another eased in grade. The booking of Jamie Spencer today could be significant.
