Athollblair Boy is back down in trip after landing the spoils last time, for which he's been put up 4lb. This looks quite a task but his stable remains in such good heart that he's a must on any shortlist. Hart Stopper was back to form here last week with a good second to Raucous and a repeat run would see him go close. James Watt continues to go well without winning off his current mark, whilst Dr Doro and Red Alert arrive in decent nick. INSPIRED THOUGHT is open to greater improvement than her rivals though but was not at her best latest over the minimum trip. However, she is unbeaten in four starts over today's 6f trip and makes appeal off a feasible mark.
