Few make any appeal with GHOSTLY standing out as he escapes a penalty for last week’s six-length victory in an apprentices’ race at Hamilton and can take advantage having won under Becky Smith here last year. Grandscape also won here last term for today’s rider while Simon Walker rode last year’s winner of this and partners Charlie's Yard. Dream Point is a regular in these events and Rainbow's Gift debuts for a new yard.
