INNOCENTLY has been competing in tougher sprints since scoring in this grade at Ripon in August so David O'Meara's charge gets a speculative vote. Ballesteros has slid down the weights but hasn't won since 2012 and Jack Luey is another looking to end a long losing run. Recent Musselburgh winner I'll Be Good can effectively race off a lower mark with an apprentice's allowance taken into account but this is tougher than the plating race veteran Inxile won at Ripon last week.
