Thirsk winner Alfie's Angel was engaged yesterday at Carlisle but Karen Tutty also has Gaelic Wizard and he’s always liable to pop up in races like this. Rockley Point has only found one too good the last twice and My Valentino has also been knocking on the door. Irish raider Mr Shelby was only beaten a short-head at Musselburgh when attracting market support but that was over 5f. DODGY BOB was much better last time at Carlisle and can race off a 5lb lower mark here. That run coincided with a return to softer ground and the five-year-old is a previous course and distance winner. Someone Exciting has just gone off the boil a little but has been dropped a couple of pounds.
