To The Spring remains capable of better but needs to improve upon her recent Nottingham effort last month and it might be worth siding with ROYAL HUSH instead. The selection rattled the crossbar when beaten by under a length at Doncaster in April and remains open to further improvement over this distance. Marcus Tregoning's newcomer, Munaawib, is one to monitor in the betting, as he makes appeal on breeding (being a son of 2,000 Guineas winner Haafhd).

Violent Velocity sauntered to victory at Beverley last week and warrants respect now turned out quickly under a penalty before reassessment. However, it might be worth siding with MANGHAM. The selection has struggled for form during the last two seasons but seems to have benefitted from a stable switch and a drop in the weights and hinted a revival was near when third at Carlisle last month. Ra Junior is handicapped to strike soon and is also considered.

PINT SIZE left his debut running behind when second at Thirsk in selling grade last month and showed enough speed that day to think he can make an impact now dropped back to the minimum trip this afternoon. Justine Time finished well-held in a competitive maiden at Thirsk on debut but may be capable of building upon that effort with the benefit of that initial experience now behind him. Mister Trancred has speed on the dam's side of his pedigree and is also considered.

LOST IN PARIS won this race 12 months ago and a repeat bid looks on the cards from a good draw after a string of solid efforts in defeat recently. The selection races off the same mark as when beaten by under a length at Catterick last month and looks a couple of pounds ahead of the handicapper as a result. Cruise Tothelimit finished a credible third in a competitive Haydock handicap last time and warrants respect off the same mark while Jarrow is another to consider.

MOTIVADO benefitted from the step up in trip when scoring on his handicap debut at Ripon last month and looks the one to be on now turned out quickly under a penalty for a trainer adept at getting his horses to rack up sequences. Lexi's Boy arrives here on a four-timer and is raised in grade but remains capable of better over middle distances and is feared most. Szabo's Destiny is holding his form well and has possibilities providing he doesn't become embroiled in a battle for the lead with the last-named.

17:00 Musselburgh (Class 6) (4YO plus)

MAID OF MEFT has improved for the step up to staying distances this season and opened her account in style when scoring at Newcastle last month. Linda Perratt's charge is taken to follow up under a penalty before the handicapper is able to properly reassess. Los Nadis has been kept fit over hurdles but a 10lb rise for his victory when last sighted on the Flat last summer means place money probably beckons today. Ghufa completes the shortlist.

ROTHESAY CHANCER has C&D form to boast here when he beat market the reopposing Pizzarra by a length last time out. Fash Shot who finished third that day has come out to win nicely at Redcar on Tuesday to confirm that form. Saxonette is sent out under a 6lb penalty for her recent win over 5f at Ayr but it seems that John Murphy's filly is more suited when there is cut in the ground. Tancred Spirit continues to run consistently and shouldn't be overlooked.
