Verdict
CARA'S REQUEST made a winning debut for Michael Dods' yard when scoring at Musselburgh by six lengths. He's up 11lb for that but is still well treated on his best form and has little to beat in this. Pelmanism has also tumbled down the weights in the past year and he can build on a recent third at Hamilton while Eastlands Lad made the frame at Catterick last time but has yet to win a race. Moral Issue can do better back over today's shorter trip and Prince Of Passion won off a higher mark on the Polytrack in January.
