Plenty of C&D form to get stuck into in this stayers contest, but it might just be as easy to follow the mare in form. STONEHAM appeared to enjoy her first experience of this track on a rare away day from Musselburgh when downing the fair Royal Flag earlier this month. Whilst she's 3lb higher today, she's ridden by a 7lb claimer (instead of Lewis Edmunds; claims 5lb), so is effectively only 1lb above her last winning mark. Fair Loch remains a maiden on the Flat (winning hurdler), but he's the most likely danger on the strength of a good run here last time behind the reliable Rebecca Menzies trained veteran Zakatal.
