Magen's Moon (8/11), Lambs Lane (5/1), Windy Writer (17/2), Melody Of Scotland (9/1), Illuminati (12/1), Fading Icon (16/1), Hey Bob (20/1), Cully Mac (20/1), Jaxlight (20/1), Diamond Rock (25/1), Pads (28/1), Fairlee Grace (28/1), Teviot Prince (50/1)

Quite a complex little puzzle to open the card made even more difficult by the fact that in-form Irish trainer Emmet Mullins saddles two runners. He’s 3-5 with his GB runners in the last five years and stable debutante LAMBS LANE looks the pick of his duo with Magen’s Moon also worthy of respect. Jaxlight goes in a handicap for the first time and that may well see her in a better light with Fading Icon looking a danger back on s softer surface having been given a very tender ride on stable debut last time over C&D. Windy Writer is another who could well be capable of more after finishing a fair third over C&D last time.
