Bracklinn may well be improving but was all out to win at Brighton last time and may struggle to follow up off a 4lb higher mark so a chance is taken with Scutch Mill, who gets the vote ahead of South O'The Border. The last mentioned has solid claims on recent evidence and is entitled to be thereabouts once more, while Caragh Mia showed improved form on the all-weather at Wolverhampton last time but may not reproduce it back on turf today. Mickehaha seems plenty high enough in the weights at present and of more interest may be the Barry Hills-trained Rainbow Sky, who is less exposed than some of these. Aiguille has yet prove that he stays this far, while Cusoon is 8lbs higher than when scoring at Windsor in July and has struggled in two starts since then. The vote then goes to Scutch Mill, who looked a shade unlucky at Windsor last time and gets the vote to go one better today.
