High Counsel isn’t getting any younger but is now 5lb lower than when completing a double at Warwick last year. Quick Pick has been thereabouts in his last three and drops a further pound while Skyhill, third over hurdles last month, is one of several decent rides for Brian Hughes on today’s card. EVENT OF SIVOLA wasn’t winning out of turn in a higher grade last time at Musselburgh. A 5lb rise looks fair and he can score again as though Pegase Amour was third at Down Royal last month, he’s changed stables since.
