Musalsal was patiently ridden and came with a late burst to catch Lady Arona over the trip at Gowran last week though that was on testing ground. The runner-up has the better of the weights here with her rider's claim and can reverse the form. Pimstrel created a huge shock when landing a handicap at the same fixture, making most and coming home at 100/1. She's up 8lb but Joey Sheridan's claim will aid her cause. Travelwise returned after a very long break in excellent form last summer, completing a double before disappointing on softer ground in October. There's more to come from the lightly-raced six-year-old while Hidden Spark continues to perform well without quite getting there. ASK DELANEY is still a maiden after eight starts but has caught the eye on occasions, especially on his return over this track and trip in June. He can't get any lower in the weights and the grey can get off the mark.
