      Verdict

      Carlisle winner TECTONIC went close to defying a 5lb rise when third in a blanket finish at Hamilton a week ago. He should be capable of scoring once again racing off the same mark today. Outlaw Torn is back on a winning mark and finished runner-up on his latest start while Senor George was a couple of lengths ahead of Royal Straight when fourth at Carlisle last month. Pigeon Pie has slipped down the weights and Beverley winner Haymarket will have come on for an outing at Ayr, his first start of the year.
