Not much between these at the weights in a wide-open classified contest. ALEKSANDAR posted a good effort in a decent handicap at Musselburgh on his latest start and any further progress should see him thereabouts at the finish. He gets a speculative vote ahead of Redcar maiden winner Mixora, who will appreciate today's longer trip and Salisbury winner Dovils Date, a close-up second at Newbury last time. Gallipot, Attwaal and Third Half are others with scope for improvement and worth a second glance in the betting.
