The action moves on to the Polytrack course for a poor handicap in which CYFLYMDER gets a token vote. Without a win since 2012, he showed a bit more at Musselburgh last time having plummeted down the weights and may prove good enough. Celestial Ray finished ahead of For Shia And Lula when fourth at Brighton last time and Midnight Feast can race off a 6lb lower mark than when scoring over track and trip last season. Indian Violet won here in April but has been well beaten in both subsequent starts.
