Stringybark Creek has won twice here and bounced back to form at Carlisle but could have done without a 3lb rise. Kilbaha Lady has been running very well since stepping up to 1m2f, scoring over that trip on ground with some give here last month though she's just as adept as tonight's trip. Mont Kinabalu has been running in better company since scoring at this level at Pontefract but Tukhoom's only victory came three years ago. The three-year-old Creek Island came good on soft going at Hamilton but meets older rivals off 7lb higher so the vote goes to ABUSHAMAH. Ruth Carr's charge is only 4lb higher than when successful here last month as last week's heavy-ground Yarmouth victory came in an apprentice's race. Kingson is making his handicap debut and will be winning soon.
