Most of these have some sort of chance on the form book and both Duster and Trade Secret bring winning form into the race. Gouray Girl is consistent and deserves a change of luck but she continues to climb the handicap while Ayr winner Able Master couldn't cope with his new mark at Hamilton and has gone up a further 2lb since. Green Howard may also be in the handicapper's grip now but he still appears to have the beating of Beckermet and Polish World on York running last month and is preferred to My Kingdom, who keeps finding one too good and is another still creeping up the weights. SHESASTAR has plenty in her favour here, not least an excellent record on the track. She's had excuses in both starts this year and can get back on the winning trail today, though White Frost and Koo And The Gang are both starting to look well treated.
