Verdict

Most have these have been competing against each other at Scottish tracks of late. PRESSURE POINT failed to cope upped in class at Ayr three weeks ago but this is easier and he had beaten Testa Rossa and Titus Bolt at the track earlier with Giovanni Jack and Gold Chain further behind. Clear Spell finished ahead of El Bravo and Ronald Gee when third at Hamilton last month while A Southside Boy and Latin Rebel are closely matched on earlier running at Ayr. Hamilton winner Right Of Appeal is another with claims.
