Racemaker won this last year and is only 3lb higher despite winning at Thirsk and narrowly beaten here last month. Acrux has won two sellers and a claimer this year but was well beaten in a better race than this last time. ABUSHAMAH ended a long losing run at Redcar in May, when Shamaheart was a long way behind, and would have finished closer with a clear run back there last time so looks the one to be on. Relight My Fire is back to his last winning mark and hasn't been running badly but Edgar Allan Poe has only won on ground with some give.
