With most of the pace drawn high, this could be run to suit COVER UP who hasn't been seen over this trip since finishing fifth in a strong handicap at Musselburgh in April. He's off a 4 lb lower mark here having not been seen to best effect over 6f subsequently and may be able to capitalise if the ground isn't too quick. Aramram shouldn't lack for speed on his first try over 5f and may prove next best ahead of Toca Madera and Rhythm N Hooves who've both been given a chance by the handicapper.
