Kelso winner Solstice Dawn is a pound out of the handicap but that may not matter much in a race like this and Ryan Winks claims 7lb. I JUST KNOW won a point-to-point last year and has probably been marking time over hurdles. He did hint at ability over the smaller obstacles, however, which bodes well and Sue Smith's charge should be capable of a bold showing here despite top weight. Dutch Canyon has now run 15 times and only been placed once so his fourth at Perth in April is probably best taken with a pinch of salt.
