Race preview
The revitalised Be Proud, twice successful over 6f at Doncaster last month, is likely mount a strong hat-trick bid here but a 6lb rise might just leave him vulnerable in these conditions. Preference is for improving three-year-old DARK TROOPER, who doesn't look to have been over-penalised (3lb rise) for a cosy win at Yarmouth last time. Illusionist under-performed at Hamilton last time but was a ready winner when last seen in a class 4 handicap and goes well on an easy surface.
