Dry Your Eyes complicates matters as she has decent claims but was due to run at Musselburgh yesterday. Thackeray returned to the Flat with a win at Ayr last month, his first since 2012, while Almutamarred won over 1m2f here in June but remains 7lb higher. Northside Prince slips further down the weights without getting any closer but CELTIC POWER posted a much better effort at Redcar last time and Jim Goldie’s charge gets a speculative vote having won off a higher mark last term.
