Craiganboy has gained his two career victories at this circuit and will be a player assuming there's no repeat of the antics that saw him refuse to race here in January (second since at Musselburgh), while the solid and consistent No No Mac should have his turn again soon. However, DONNA'S DELIGHT broke the resolve of his rivals over further around here last time on his first run after wind surgery. Ryan Mania will likely ensure this is a thorough stamina test and a 6lb rise may not ground his ambitions of a follow-up success.
