Verdict
The Nifty Fox has past course form to recommend him and Profile Star won off a higher mark on the Polytrack in March. But FINDOG was placed off a 5lb higher mark here last season and is dropped in class after a pipe-opener at Musselburgh - Linda Perratt's charge gets the vote to return to winning ways. Chloe's Dream and Manatee Bay won over this minimum trip last term but both have struggled off higher marks subsequently.
