In depth

Verdict

Carlos Fandango is coming down the weights and should be winning soon at this sort of level. Brother Scott has been knocking on the door but probably needs a bit of help from the handicapper if he's to get his head in front, though does appear to hold Kai Broon on Kelso running. SOLWAY LEGEND was a bit cautious in the early stages of his chasing bow at Carlisle but gradually warmed to his task and was staying on strongly at the finish. Emkae was behind and looks held but Everylasting could be a danger as he has the beating of Odds On Dan on his latest third at Newcastle.
