Nonrunner
Plenty of recent winners with claims but BLUE MAISEY gets a tentative vote dropped in class after finishing runner-up over track and trip last time. Border Bandit is another dropping down a grade but has done all his winning over a mile so far while Rasselas, Uncle Brit and Trixie Malone all scored over the same distance on their latest outings. Natures Law won over 7f at Ayr a fortnight ago and makes more appeal than Larghetto, a winner over today's trip on the Polytrack back in April.
