The betting suggested Bottleofsmoke would finally come good in a Class 7 contest here last time and he duly obliged by six lengths. He’s upped 9lb for that while THORNTOUN CARE has only been raised 3lb after winning over track and trip a fortnight ago when narrowly beating Senor George. An apprentice takes 7lb off the latter's back today and Iain Jardine’s charge should confirm running on these terms. Stonecoldsoba was not beaten far off today’s mark over course and distance earlier and Star Ascending has a shout off his current mark.
