Gordon Elliott's pair Definite All Star and Western Bound scored here last time but the pair both race over a different trip today and could be vulnerable. Rolecarr is chasing a hat-trick after a couple of wins at Kelso last month and Stormy Weather has been keeping better company than this. CIRCUS CLOWN made no impression at Ayr last time but will have found the good ground against him. Recent rain is very much in his favour here and Jim Goldie's six-year-old is fancied to return to winning ways with regular partner Graham Lee in the saddle again.
