Verdict

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.
  1. Old Harbour
  2. Amber Storm
  3. Kuwait Shield
