None of this bunch inspire confidence. Saxonette is best over 5f at Musselburgh while Poppy In The Wind and Tarando recorded their only wins to date over the minimum trip. Irish raider Catwilldo landed a double over 5f earlier this year but Diatomic has actually won over today's distance at Carlisle and could be thereabouts. Supersta and Sea Of Green have slipped down the weights but a token vote goes to the unexposed EUXTON to come good in first-time headgear with a 5lb claimer helping his cause.
