The likely soft ground will no doubt play a part in today's proceedings and both Evening Attire and Whaleweigh Station may struggle having placed on the all-weather last time. But the going will suit WILDE INSPIRATION on his comeback having won in soft ground at Newcastle and Thirsk last year and expected to continue his good progress this season. Baron Run has won five times but all five came over 6f at Hamilton and Duelling Dragon is preferred on only his second start in a handicap. Kieren Fallon partners recent Kempton winner Be Royale but she is another with something to prove on the going.
