AL KHISA improved on the soft ground at Carlisle last time when fourth over 5f. A couple of winners have come out of the race and it looks stronger form than the second of Mixed Message at the same track last month. Just Paul was still beaten seven lengths when third over 7f here recently but Someone's Darling wasn't far away at Musselburgh last time and could figure with a repeat. Grand Jipeck finished a respectable third on his handicap bow at Newcastle and is another to consider.
