Not too many of these are reliable betting propositions but it’s worth going with THE TRIGGER, who shaped as though a return to winning ways was imminent when a solid third from a 13lb higher mark in a race that worked out well at Musselburgh last time. The drop in trip should suit and he’s taken to beat Golden Sunset and Capture The Drama.
