Jolie Crickette had a few of these behind when runner-up to Mah Mate Bob over a longer trip here earlier in the month but TWO HOOTS (NAP) travelled strongly for a long way that day and looks to be coming to hand. Brian Hughes keeps faith with Joanne Foster’s grey so he gets the nod. Istimraar ran his best race sop far for Andrew Hamilton at Musselburgh but could have done without a 2lb rise. Lovely Schtuff may need this but course specialist Roxyfet is still capable if on a going day.
