Layla's Oasis scored at Musselburgh last week but was well beaten in soft ground before that. Indian Tinker has been thereabouts off a similar mark of late without being quite good enough, while Harrogate Fair may find a penalty tough to cope with having won on the Polytrack recently. Rambo Will and Tychaios are recent winners on fast going, the latter over track and trip, but a punt is taken on SOLEMN bouncing back to form having slipped 12lb down the weights since the start of the season.
