COLOUR CONTRAST is creeping up the weights again and is now 0-18. He’s also been racing over longer trips but has been knocking on the door and is well enough drawn if he can hold his position going into the bend. Fyrecracker is regarded as a sprinter but did once finish second over this trip so should cope. He’s a danger along with Ayr third Lotara, who is seeking a first victory on Turf. Harbour Patrol won at Thirsk in April and is only a pound higher but Tellovoi’s recent victory came on Jersey and he has the worst of the draw.
