Tarseekh has won twice in his career, both times when dropped into Class 7 company while Dodgy Bob has never won on the all-weather though has been placed four times here in the past few weeks. Rapid Rise was having his 34th start when losing his maiden tag here last month but reverted to type on a return visit. The lightly-raced Classy Cailin was third in the first of those events and looks the more likely of the pair to take this.Sunnyside Lady is probably better than form figures suggest and Irish raider ANCIENT ASTRONAUT has a victory here to his credit. The latter is likely to be prepared for this and gets the vote in a tricky finale.
