Verdict

Just James is down to run at Musselburgh on Monday, but if he takes his chance here he will be a big threat to our selection Blue Sky Thinking, Primo Way and Everest are two others in with a shout. Karl Burke's charge has been a revelation on the all-wether this spring, winning three times at Wolverhampton. Last season's turf form wasn't too bad either and there is no reason why he shouldn't continue his winning ways. Primo Way is not too far behind the selection on official ratings but is not the most consistent of performers. If on a going day he would be hard to keep out of the money. Everest has shown little in three runs this season but cannot be ruled out on the pick of last season's form. Apart from the in form Just James, the rest make little appeal and so we return to Blue Sky Thinking as the likely winner.
