Temper Trap has won half of his six starts around here including this a year ago. He hasn't been in the best of form but is gradually dropping to a winnable mark. LOCHNAVER had dropped to his lowest-ever mark when beating Clan Jock, who runs in the previous race, comfortably earlier this month. Jim Goldie's daughter of Frankel took a long time to lose her maiden tag but still looks on a low enough mark to go in again. Caballero, who was just over three lengths behind that day, should get closer without reversing the form but Chinese Spirit hasn't been at his best since landing a classified race over the track and trip last month.
