Solway Dandy is a regular here and is getting closer, though still climbing the weights. Ewan Whillans takes off 3lb again, however, and he has to go on the short-list. Blinkers could help Teo Vivo in his bid to shed his maiden tag and he's another to consider while Some Lad has claims if you ignore his latest run at Kelso. MOLLY MILAN was out of her depth at Ayr last time but will have needed that run and she'd shown ability at Newcastle previously. She's not exactly thrown in here but has scope so gets a tentative vote.
