Race preview
BRAES OF DOUNE travelled smoothly throughout when he won over 1m2f at Ayr on his most recent start and, having gone well fresh in the past, he's an appealing option returning off just 4lb higher. Jim Goldie's gelding performed well in defeat on both previous visits to this venue and has to be of interest dropped in trip while still on a potentially lenient mark. Marcello Si is not ruled out, while Maraakiz and the first-time blinkered Reflex are also considered.
