Lord Rapscallion has been creeping up the weights without winning but he’s not been beaten far the last twice. Spirited Guest nearly always runs his race but he was soon left behind here two runs ago when ATASER (NAP) appreciated the drop in class and the return to 7f with a relatively-straightforward success. Third Dashing Dick is 4lb better off today but it would be no surprise to see Terry Kent’s charge go in again if in the same mood. Nizaaka also arrives off the back a recent course and distance victory but Little Prayer has been plying his trade on the all-weather.
