HAUL US IN carries 6lb extra for winning at Ayr last week but she scored easily on that occasion and drops down a grade for this. Lucinda Russell’s mare has little to fear from these on recent form given Turtle Cask disappointed last time having previously finished a close-up fourth at Kelso. Ollisu Lad posted a much better effort at Ayr in December without threatening the winner while Spring Over and Knocklayde are not badly treated on earlier placed efforts but both are having trouble putting in a clear round.
