Lisa Harrison's pair Solway Legend and Presented were both engaged over fences here yesterday so wouldn't be penalised if successful and turned out again in this. Drop A Gear's lack of a recent run is a worry and Authorized Cadeaux has plenty to prove after a couple of lacklustre efforts. Martin Chuzzlewit has been showing a bit more lately but has never fulfilled early potential. Stay In My Heart refused to race last time at Hexham and had been reluctant to line-up when successful at that track earlier. WYFIELD ROSE wouldn't want any rain and is high enough in the weights now but has form over course and distance so gets a tentative vote.
Drop A Gear (IRE) 4-1fav (11-12) Mid-division, headway 3 out, went 3rd approaching 2 out, ridden between last two, went 2nd briefly after last, kept on same pace, 3rd of 15, 9 3/4l behind Touch Of Steel (11-4) at Musselburgh 3m hcp (5) gd in Nov.

Ping (IRE) 11-1 (10-13) Held up in touch, headway after 3 out, weakened before 2 out, 5th of 8, 36l behind Primo Rossi (10-0) at Market Rasen 2m 3f hcp (5) gd in Jun.
