Tim Easterby runs three including last year’s winner MULTELLIE, who arrives on the back of victory at Hamilton and remains on a winning mark despite carrying 4lb extra. He gets the vote to go in again given Tammooz has yet to race on soft going having been raised 6lb for winning at Windsor last month. The more rain the better for Teodora De Vega, a winner in heavy going at Leicester though unproven over this longer trip and the latter comment also applies to Ritchie Valens. Hallalulu has looked high enough in the weights so far this year but is having only her second outing for Mark Johnston’s yard.
