ON THE CUSP was well beaten in a couple of starts on the Polytrack last month but won over C&D before that. He's only a pound higher in the weights on his return to Fibresand and is reunited with winning partner Julie Burke today. Bold Diva was placed over 7f here last month and has to come into the reckoning, but Monsieur Pontaven ended last season with a win over 6f at Ayr and is facing different conditions today. Novastasia was not beaten far in fourth here last time but has yet to win and Noble Attitude has a bit to find with the selection on earlier running.
