Song Of The Siren arrives in good heart but she's facing stiffer competition here on the back of a head defeat at the hands of today's rival Fossgate. So is The Lock Master after scoring at Haydock last time though he's still rated lower than on the all-weather. Samarkand will be better for his recent pipe-opener at Pontefract but the vote goes to FULL TOSS, a winner in similar company at Ayr in May and looking to have every chance with a 3lb claimer helping his cause
