It might be worth taking a chance on ALEMARATALYOUM off bottom-weight after his win at Haydock last time. Consistency wouldn't be his forte but he shaped like he could be even better over this longer trip here and a 4lb rise is fair. First-time headgear may be the answer for Pivoine who was a bit better than the bare result at Goodwood last time and gets the talented Jason Watson taking off 3lb in the saddle. Scottish Summit will probably try and make all and couldn't be ruled out with the form he's in at present.
