Roker Park and The Nifty Fox are eased in grade and could figure here, though there's not much between the latter and Crimson Knot on Musselburgh running last month. Jeannie Galloway likes it here and Best Trip hinted at a revival last time but Breezolini has never won beyond 5f while Lollina Paulina dropped away tamely at Nottingham last week. SPRINGHEEL JAKE has been racing over further lately but was only beaten a short-head over 6f at Ripon in May and will handle this soft ground better than most. Ann Duffield's gelding can open his seasonal account this evening. Polar Annie looks the pick of the remainder.
