Jessie Allan is having her 90th career start but did win here and at Ayr last year, though usually needs a run. RAIN CAP is also a course a course and distance winner and is now 10lb better than when beaten a length-and-a-quarter by the hat-trick seeking Aquamas here last month. Cragside’s second at Wetherby was boosted when the winner scored again off a 3lb higher mark at Yarmouth earlier this week and he can’t be left out of calculations.
