In depth
Verdict
Qawamees drops down in trip after finishing a close-up fourth over 1m5f at Musselburgh and CARTER COWBOY is preferred. The latter found one too good in a maiden handicap at Wolverhampton last time but this is no tougher. It took Don't Joke 21 attempts to open his account having scored over 1m2f at Nottingham recently but Thirsk runner-up Lucy Rules makes more appeal while both Chinese Spirit and Retirement Beckons would have a shout if taking part though were both due to run here yesterday.
