Accessallareas won off an 11lb higher mark last year and could figure if fully wound-up. Caspian Piper also returns from a lay-off but this is his time of year and Richard Johnson rides. Odds On Dan was second at Sedgefield a couple of weeks ago but Aregra was pulled up in that race and is probably best watched for now. HARLEYS MAX was only beaten a neck at Perth after finishing second at Kelso so a change of luck is overdue.
