Verdict

OUR ABSENT FRIENDS went down only to a thriving sort here last time and can resume winning ways. I Need Your Love may benefit from the drop to 5f and is feared most ahead of Emperor's Son. Water of Leith would also need to be considered if turning out again following Friday's Wolverhampton second.
