Verdict

Last month's course winner Silver Shuffle continues to run well but is still climbing the weights. Tourtiere beat VITTACHI over this trip at Musselburgh last month but the latter has every chance of reversing that form today on more favourable terms so gets a tentative vote, despite a couple of less encouraging runs lately over further. Scoppio Del Carro and Amazing Blue Sky would have a chance on past form and Rockabilly Riot should also go well if reproducing his run at Newcastle last month.
