Totally Scottish gets the vote in this claimer with Croc On Oir and Kissinthepeach rating the main dangers. The selection has plenty in hand on official bhb ratings is dropping in grade here and under conditions that suit he is given one last chance to get his head in front. Croc On Oir rates the main danger on his latest sixth behind El Bandindos. He is another dropping in grade and with his yard in form he should be watched in the market. Kissinthepeach is another that could go well on his latest third behind El Bandindos but he is far from consistent and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Of the others Aristi has had plenty of chances and is becoming expensive to follow while Tuscany Rose looks tripless and with this in mind for the winner we return to Totally Scottish
