Lagenda came in for some market support on debut for this trainer at Haydock last time, though ultimately it was misplaced faith. It will be interesting to see if there is a repeat. Betty Grable is the form pick after a win and a second on the AW at Newcastle, assuming she can replicate that improved form back on turf but MY VALENTINO also comes here off a good effort at Musselburgh (third). He remains a maiden but has often run well on the Scottish circuit and could pick up a race of this standing. Retirement Beckons could hold claims if proving his stamina while Clary is down to a very workable mark, should he be able to take advantage.
