Oneladyowner stepped up on previous efforts to score at Newbury earlier this month but he's now on a career-high mark and unproven on ground this soft. Mac Gille Eoin has gone off the boil again after winning at Epsom, while West Coast Dream is running for the first time since April and for a new stable. Global City is starting to come down the weights, as is Swilly Ferry, and both are respected but Fireback needs fast ground while Quasi Congaree may be in the handicapper's grip now. DAMIKA has come right back to form in recent weeks and trip and going look ideal today - he should take all the beating.
