DRUMNAFERN BLAZE (1) had the drop on the lead and went on to be beaten 1.75 lengths into third (30.08) at this track in an A8 over 480m. Likely to feature again. KILLINICK REBEL (2) jumped from a low draw and boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten half a length (29.80) behind Girl Of Exile at this track. Leading player again. TINO ON FIRE (6) has missed the frame at his last two but did run well three back when second (29.94) in an A7 at this track. Rates a winning chance on best. ALNWICK NUKE (4) missed the placings first up then scored by a neck at this track last start over 480m (29.91). Up a notch this time but in form and sure to give a good account.

Not seen at best last start when she finished last on May 2 over 480m at this track behind Strictly Alijaz beaten 14 lengths (31.31) in an A8. Happy enough to avoid.

Good effort after taking an early lead to score in an A9 by neck at this track over 480m (29.91). Looks a solid hope.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing third over 480m. No easier here and likely to struggle.
