Triangle Rock (5/2), Border Victor (9/2), Chocolat Noir (8/1), Scales Of Justice (17/2), Silk Or Scarlet (10/1), Heather Burning (12/1), Humps And Bumps (14/1), Budarri (14/1), Katalystic (16/1), St George's Oval (20/1), K O Kenny (25/1), Excalibur (66/1), Cudgel (66/1), Luvly Boy Blue (66/1)

Plenty of runners, but a distinct lack of quality on offer. Triangle Rock hasn't been with Keith Dalgleish for all that long and could be the type to progress for a new handler, but he probably didn't merit a small rise in the weights for his second placed effort at Musselburgh. Border Victor remains a longstanding maiden, but in fair form at present has a shout, whilst both Katalystic and Humps and Bumps are worth monitoring in the market exchanges. However, a real speculative shout is for the Rose Dobbin-trained HEATHER BURNING. Evidently some ability lies within, and the hope is that this new trip (dam related to a stayer) can unlock that potential.
