3/1
Good start for new yard, building on Redcar reappearance third when scoring over C&D (good) 16 days ago. Did that quite readily so a 6 lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing.

10/3, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Tipperary (9f, good to soft) 34 days ago, readily. Not obviously well treated from his British mark but his unexposed profile provides the hope for better.

Forecasts

Theophilos (15/8), Morning Sun (3/1), Innse Gall (11/2), Tilsitt (13/2), Knightswood (12/1), Sophiesticate (12/1), Zarabanda (14/1), Bringbackmemories (33/1)

Verdict

MORNING SUN had a bit in hand when striking at the second time of asking for the Keith Dalgleish stable here 16 days ago and can make light of a 4 lb rise. Zarabanda shaped quite encouragingly in a competitive Hamilton handicap on her recent reappearance and is feared most ahead of Irish raider Theophilos.

  1. Morning Sun3/1
  2. Zarabanda14/1
  3. Theophilos15/8
