Oddsmaker made all over a longer trip here in April and was taking on better opposition when well beaten at Carlisle subsequently. He could take some pegging back if allowed to dominate again though has gone up in the weights. Golden Future and Dimashq both had an alternate engagement at Ripon yesterday but Hamilton winner Zennor has to be interesting. She's travelled a long way for this and is less exposed than her rivals, though has her stamina to prove over this trip. Birkside may still be capable of a bold showing in this grade but we'll take a chance on TOSHI, who has a very competent amateur in the saddle and is fit from a campaign over hurdles. Jim Goldie's charge is well handicapped on the Flat nowadays.
