Dream Ally is usually in the mix at this level but remains 7lb higher than his course and distance success back in April. Whispering Soul won a seller at Hamilton during the summer but was well beaten when runner-up last time while Whipphound scored over track and trip in between his more usual modest efforts. ROBBIE ROO ROO is less exposed and opened her account at Redcar last month having slipped down the weights. She could close again, despite a 5lb higher mark, and gets a tentative vote.
