Camerily Joe is due to be raised 5lb for a recent second over track and trip so should be in the mix once again. But THE PRINCES POET (NAP) is also 3lb well-in after finishing runner-up in soft ground at Nottingham in a higher grade sprint than this. He’s just preferred and can open his account. My Best Friend has won a maiden in soft going at Hamilton and makes his handicap debut with a visor refitted for this while Driftwood placed at the same Nottingham fixture as the selection and makes most appeal of the rest.
