Hamish Mcgonagain steps up in class off a higher mark having landed a double with a recent success over 5f here. Dreams Of Glory also won a lower grade contest last time while Gabrielle only won a maiden race at Redcar in October. Head Space has been thereabouts of late but a chance is taken on BERTIE BLU BOY, who failed to win last year but has slipped back down to a winning mark as a consequence and posted a better effort in a higher grade sprint here last time. Aragon Knight has also tumbled down the weights but has only raced over the minimum trip so far.
