Scoundrel holds Oriental Splendour on Hamilton running but was behind Musharrif at Beverley six days ago and the pair meet on the same terms. Geoff Potts has become hard to place but it would be no surprise to see Classic Pursuit in the firing-line. CANFORD BAY wouldn’t want considerable rain and has only won in Class 6 company so far. However, he’s been second twice in Class 4 contests this year and that suggests he’ll go close at this level.
