A competitive race, but at least STORMY PEARL has a win to her name, after making all to come home alone at Hamilton last time out. An added 8lb from the handicapper may not be enough to stop her following up, though if she falters, Signora Camacho might take advantage with the better going expected to suit. White Mist and Fiery Bond make their handicap debuts here and may have more to offer off these marks. totewin: Stormy Pearl toteeachway: Signora Camacho

Having gained a confidence-boosting success at Carlisle earlier this month, WATER OF LEITH made the switch from Jim Goldie to Rebecca Menzies’ Morton yard. The son of Kodiac was raised 4lb for that victory, but remains potentially well treated from a mark of 61 and he’s taken to follow up. Earn Your Stripes appears set for another bold showing, having recorded two wins from her last three starts, while the class-dropping Maple Jack heads the weights and is another to consider.

BELTANE produced a much-improved display over 6f at Haydock earlier this month following recent wind surgery, finishing a good third. He could have more to offer back at 7f and, in a wide-open contest, he receives a tentative vote. Starshiba has been narrowly denied on each of his two latest starts and he ought to go well down in class, along with Obee Jo, who has dropped 2lb below his last winning mark. Spacer shouldn’t be underestimated either.
