This looks tricky given Jack Devine has something to prove rated 13lb higher than when landing a double at Perth during the summer while Too Many Chiefs recorded his earlier double at Ayr in testing ground. It was also heavy going when Craig Star won here back in January on the same card as when LANDECKER scored over track and trip. But the latter also won this contest on faster going in 2016 and should go close once again racing off the same mark today, especially if the forecast rain gets into the ground. Sweet Holly has won over a shorter trip here and could go well on her second start after wind surgery.
