This is a much better contest than the first division and Dhamaan should make another bold bid after scoring at Ayr on Monday. Opus Dei also has strong claims back over today's trip after going close over 6f at Hamilton last time and Ishetoo has dropped down to a tempting mark having finished third at Chester three weeks ago. Flying Applause has a chance if forgiven a below par effort on his latest start, but the vote goes to LINDORO, who won over C&D in April and is only 1lb higher than when going very close again back here last time.
