TIMEFORMVIEW Successful sole start between the flags and stepped up on low-key handicap debut effort when chasing home easy winner Animore at Ayr (21.4f, good to firm) in a first-time tongue strap. Eased 2lb since and likely to be in the mix if able to build on that with the hood refitted here. TFRHHHHI BHA95

PLAY SMARTER

This looks pretty trappy and the suggestion is STARLYTE, who acquitted herself well in a highergrade handicap at Musselburgh last month and both this drop back in trip and 2lb lower mark will help Maimie’s Magic shouldn’t be judged too harshly on her last 2 starts and remains of interest having made a good start in handicaps but Rockonsoph is second choice on the back of a creditable effort at Ayr. Autumn Return is also shortlisted now upped in trip
