Princess Karine (4/1), Huddle Up (5/1), The Thin Blue Line (5/1), Glorious Rio (5/1), Nelson Gay (11/2), Ramon Di Loria (8/1), Our Absent Friends (9/1), Mews House (12/1), Albegone (25/1)

Verdict

THE THIN BLUE LINE arrives in good form, getting back to winning ways at Musselburgh in April before running at least as well when second at Hamilton, so he is taken to provide Keith Dalgleish with back-to-back victories in this race. Heading the list of dangers is the consistent Princess Karine, while Glorious Rio could fare better returned to this course.
