Bomb Squad is one the more exposed but has won a handicap in soft ground and is preferred to Musselburgh winner Vivacious Boy. Maker Of Light finished in front of Airflow when failing to settle at Yarmouth and drops back down in trip but a chance is taken on AQUAMAS. The latter makes her handicap debut having posted a better effort over the minimum trip at Beverley and Michael Dods’ filly may well improve for the extra distance.
