Dark Ocean won on his reappearance at Pontefract but has been beaten twice off today's mark since. Gala Casino Star is tumbling down the weights but has yet to show much improvement for it while Mash Potato has now been a beaten favourite four times in a row and is tried in blinkers after his latest flop at Carlisle. THE OSTEOPATH finished behind Alanos at Ayr last time but wasn't helped by being held up well off the pace in a slowly-run race. The veteran thrives on soft ground and, with the excellent Megan Carberry taking off 7lb this evening, can get back to winning ways.
