CRINDLE CARR appeared not to last home over 1m4f at Wolverhampton last time. He has an edge at the weights on today’s terms and may come out best over this shorter trip. Ray Donovan won over 7f at Musselburgh last season but has been well beaten in both starts so far this year but Metronomic won at Kempton last month and Rossa Ryan’s allowance brings him into the equation. The remainder have it all to do both at the weights and on recent form and are hard to recommend.
