Best Dressed came good at Hamilton last time but has been raised 10lb for his trouble. Fingal's Cave beat weaker opposition than this in a maiden at Leicester last month but USE YOUR FILBERT's (NAP) win at Haydock is working out well. He had a couple of subsequent winners behind on his introduction and can make a winning start in handicaps. Qatar Road is another recent maiden winner but the runner-up has been well beaten since while Scarlet Bounty is upped in class off a higher mark having won at Leicester a fortnight ago.
