Gracelands Girl will surely get off the mark in the WTW Prepare, Protect, Pioneer Restricted Maiden Fillies’ Stakes at Musselburgh.

To say Tim Easterby’s charge has been knocking on the door would be an understatement, with a debut third followed by three successive runner-up finishes.

The daughter of Iffraaj looked well positioned to oblige on her latest attempt at Beverley, but was ultimately no match for Lucky boy lovely wife, who has since disappointed at Kempton but did certainly not run her race.

A return to a mile in Scotland should be a help to Gracelands Girl and there are likely to be some long faces in the Easterby camp if she is unable to make the most of what looks a gilt-edged opportunity.

Isle Of Dreams should be followed in the Try Racing TV For Free Now Classified Stakes.

Declan Carroll’s filly was a surprise winner at Catterick in April, but she has since proved that was no fluke with two sound efforts in defeat.

She was beaten just a nose in handicap company here in mid-may and the handicapper left her on that mark, allowing her to run in this 0-50 contest.

With 5lb claimer Zak Wheatley keeping the ride, a bold bid is anticipated.

Sheer Rocks is expected to make the most of having his sights lowered at Bath.

The three-year-old won at Chepstow and at this track to round off an unbeaten juvenile campaign, but a tilt at the Blue Riband Trial at Epsom on his return proved a bridge too far.

Saeed bin Suroor’s Dubai Welcome has already won once and finished second twice at Kempton and can give weight and a beating to his rivals on his return to Sunbury for the Unibet 3 Uniboosts A Day Handicap.
