Peter Makin trained the winner of this 12 months ago but his Hidden Destiny has yet to show any worthwhile form on turf and returns from a lay-off today. Kevin Lundie is still seeking his first winner but has a decent chance here on board Memphis Man, a winner over C&D last month before finding a slower surface against him at Hamilton last week. Getcarter still looks too high in the weights but Collect Art is in fine form and shouldn't be far away again while Italian Tom is usually thereabouts. WITCHRY has plenty in his favour today however and, with the promising Charles Bishop doing the steering, can regain the winning thread.
