It's time to don the guessing cap for a low-class cavalry charge. HAMIS AL BIN is the token choice having finished second at Bath in a 15-runner handicap at a similar level last time. Pearl Noir finished ahead of Consistant when going close at Wolverhampton recently while Sewn Up beat Lucky Mark a neck with Prigsnov Dancer a close-up fourth in a blanket finish at the same track last month. Dancing Maite can race off a lower mark on Turf and made the frame over 5f here recently with Avonmore Star back in fifth. Invigilator and Burnhope are other all-weather regulars allowed to compete off lower marks on this surface.
