A couple of these stand out on recent form. Scoreline won over the minimum trip at Musselburgh last week and should go well again. But BASHIBA won a higher grade sprint at Redcar by over two lengths and Nigel Tinkler's charge gets the vote on that form. Sleeper Class has won over 6f here but struggled off higher marks subsequently and Lady Mai looks no nearer winning despite slipping down the weights.
