Lazy Days In Loule is a winner without a penalty after landing an apprentices' race at Ripon but is upped in class. Buckland Beau went close when favourite at Thirsk but has proved best over 7f so far, but Exotic Guest is back for more having won last year's renewal of a slightly lower mark and is not easily dismissed. Munjally found a 2lb rise beyond him last time attempting to repeat an earlier win at Hamilton where ORIENT SKY finished third. The latter re-opposes on better terms today and Paul Midgley's charge looks to have decent claims with plenty of scope for improvement.
