Be Perfect won last year's renewal with Caledonia and Dr Irv well behind. But he's 4lb higher today and was tailed off behind Nashville at Ayr last time. The latter should be in the mix once again while Mister Pagan won the same race at Ayr last year but hasn't raced since. Recent Musselburgh winner DEEPSAND has won in heavy ground over hurdles and today's longer trip should not be a problem. Tim Easterby's charge has the beating of Hot Spice on collateral form and is also preferred to Miss Macnamara. The latter beat La Bacouetteuse at Ayr last time while Kashmiri Sunset handles soft going and is expected to stay given he's a half-brother to Cesarewitch winner Darley Sun.
