Kajaki is having a first run since May but goes well fresh. Malangen has already won twice around here this summer but looks held by Bellaney Gem on recent running. Stuart Crawford’s mare stays this longer trip but FINISK RIVER has managed to turn his form around and Donald McCain’s grey still looks well treated despite a 4lb rise for winning at Bangor. Copperwell is less exposed but tries a new trip as does Pilgrims King, who failed to cope with a 6lb rise when seeking a Ffos Las hat-trick in June.
