Verdict

Monthly Medal was all out when ending a long losing run at this track last time and a will find this tougher and the vote goes to AUTO MAC. He's been getting progressively closer and makes a quick reappearance having finished fourth at Redcar during the week. High Resolution posted a better effort at Carlisle last Wednesday and Dandarrell has been placed on his last couple of starts. Alabanda has slipped down the weights and last month's Ayr winner Glenluji has a chance with a 7lb claimer helping his cause.
