Verdict

Goninodaethat had been threatening to score before dumping his jockey as the stalls opened at Musselburgh last time. He should be thereabouts if behaving himself while Spread Boy went close at the same track last month and may figure. Sabratha continues to slip down the weights and is likely to take advantage soon but EMERALDS SPIRIT makes more appeal. She scored in this grade at Thirsk on her penultimate start and John Weymes' C&D winner should be capable of landing this with a similar effort.
