Mark Johnston sends a strong team to Scotland for today's card and can strike another blow if OLD HARBOUR can get into a better rhythm than he did over a slightly shorter trip last time out. Joe Fanning was also in the plate than day and his tactics from the saddle with have a major impact on the outcome of this modest handicap. Amber Storm is unexposed and, having won her maiden in good style last time out, she can pose a potent threat to them all here. Kuwait Shield is an interesting one to note in the betting, while Masham Star, a stablemate of the selection, has dropped to very attractive mark and can be considered competitive on the pick of his past form.
