Mac Ailey won on soft going here a week ago but over a longer trip while End Zone scored at Hamilton back in May. JOSIEBOND (NAP) was upped in trip last time but got her head in front on the soft ground at Beverley before that and can effectively race off the same mark here with an apprentice’s allowance taken into consideration. Rory and Chinese Spirit are not out of this but Our Dickie, who finished in front of Hollis Brown when second in classified company here, faces a tougher task.
