4/1

8/1, improved on recent efforts to win 6-runner handicap at Ripon (5f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Had plenty in hand there so looks sure to go well under a 4 lb penalty.

Form: 70-0421

Forecasts

Rum Cocktail (10/3), Brian The Snail (4/1), Dandy Dinmont (5/1), The Dunkirk Lads (11/2), Riversway (6/1), Vadamiah (8/1), So Smart (9/1), Regal Envoy (11/1), Stone Circle (12/1), Street Life (22/1)

Plenty with chances but there was a lot to like about the reappearance run of VADAMIAH at Musselburgh so Paul Midgley's well-weighted filly gets the vote. Brian The Snail is feared most under a 4 lb penalty for his easy Ripon success, although The Dunkirk Lads and Dandy Dinmont need factoring in too.
