DUNCAN OF SCOTLAND was attempting to complete a hat-trick when finishing well beaten off this mark at Ayr last month and he can register his third win of 2017 in this contest. Guiding Star is another who has been in good form having won last time out and she can claim second place in this event while Our Max, a winner at Dundalk last time can take third.
