Meadowcroft Boy (5/2), Bahrikate (4/1), Craig Star (5/1), Lough Kent (6/1), Jet Master (7/1), Dakota Grey (10/1), Monfass (14/1), Pistol (14/1), Tomahawk Wood (20/1)

Verdict

MEADOWCROFT BOY looks like belatedly fulfilling some of the promise of his early career after good efforts in his two recent runs and he can continue the upward curve here. Craig Star may have given him a race at Kelso but for unseating and he must be a danger today given he is 8lb better off this time round. Pistol likes it here and will have his ground today. He remains off a dangerously low mark so is one who can't be underestimated.
  1. Meadowcroft Boy
