Character Onesie won twice last summer and has shown a little bit more dash recently, though some rain wouldn't go amiss. The Gay Cavalier is extremely consistent which is why he keeps climbing the weights without winning, though Jim Crowley takes over from inexperienced riders and his mount should get into the mix. Captain Felix won a Redcar claimer but was then beaten in a seller on the same track while Molten Lava hasn't improved as expected after completing a double around this time last summer. RUSTIQUE (NAP) has gained both of her Turf victories on this track and has only been raised 3lb for her victory a couple of weeks ago so she's handed the vote to get back to winning ways.
