Hasn't quite been the force of old so far this year, but showed plenty of talent last year (including for her previous trainer), and must have a chance if able to return to that having been dropped a further 2lb by the handicapper.

Won at Newcastle in November (1m2f), and almost double up over the same C&D in January, but hasn't even placed on the turf since June 2015 and looks to much prefer the Tapeta on all available evidence.

Lightly-raced type who may have needed the run on his stable debut last time out when never getting involved. Hinted at ability when previously with Sir Michael Stoute and interesting off this mark.

Soft ground winner at Haydock last July, and has generally run his best races when there has been at least some give in the ground. Beaten 62L at Chester last time on good to firm in probably only a slightly better handicap than this, and is tough to fancy down 3lb.

7/4
Has run well the last twice and went much closer at Ayr last time out (1m2f, good), than his fifth placed finish suggests. 3lb higher now which seems a little harsh, but he still should be on the premises if able to repeat that performance.

Not particularly impressive on any of his three starts so far and was beaten 30L on handicap debut at Leicester last time over this trip. Much more needed here.

Awarded a race in July last year but hasn't been first past the post since his debut over 6f at Pontefract in July 2015. Capable of running some fair races but doesn't really look up to this level.

Verdict

A chance is taken on SCOTTISH SUMMIT. This former Sir Michael Stoute trained runner ran a solid race on handicap debut for that handler at Sandown last July and looked like he badly needed the run on his stable debut last time out, over a trip that was probably too far for him and in a race where he lost a shoe. Things should fall better for him today and off a lower mark he is in danger of being underrated. Trinity Star has been running well recently and is another one to consider, ahead of Nonno Giullo who hasn't looked on the best mark of late but is now down a further 4lb.
