Bouncy Bouncy missed a race last week on account of the fast ground so she could do with some rain. Black Baccara has already run an incredible 15 times this year but holds her form remarkably well and invariably reaches a place at this level. Silvanus got up on the line under a fine Paul Hanagan ride at Musselburgh but may be worth taking on with a 5lb rise to contend with. GRACIE'S GAMES doesn't look an obvious choice after a poor reappearance at Wolverhampton but she's useful at this lowly level when conditions are in her favour as she showed when scoring over the C&D in August. With Toby Atkinson's claim a big plus she can return to winning ways.
