Verdict

A winner on his debut last summer, LUPIN POOTER reappeared in a better handicap than this at York earlier this month. He never threatened in fourth but has plenty of scope and is fancied to go close today. Bogini, Nearly A Gift and Middleton Flyer are more exposed and all finished behind the selection last time, but Wild Sauce nearly followed up her Wolverhampton victory when only beaten a nose at Musselburgh last time and can figure. Recent Hamilton winner Rock Canyon was due to run here yesterday and the rest are hard to fancy.
