Another Venture (15/8), Well Above Par (9/2), Valadom (5/1), King Golan (13/2), Midnight Shot (7/1), Lowanbehold (9/1), Cultram Abbey (14/1)

The heart bled for the gallant, front-running King Golan who really didn't deserve to be caught on the shadow of the post at Musselburgh 17-days ago, and even more cruelly, the handicapper has reacted swiftly with a further 3lb rise in the weights. However, we know that he'll run his race at this track, stays this longer trip, and the switch to a visor (from blinkers) should keep him on his toes. It's feasible that the front-runners will dominate this contest which features a couple of southern-based raiders. Kim Bailey is 4-26 (15%) at Kelso, and his recent visored Plumpton scorer ANOTHER VENTURE is taken to double-up off just a 4lb higher mark.
