A switch to handicaps and softer ground can see HASHTAG LORD open his account ahead of the progressive Fia Fuinidh and the four-year-old Agilulf who will benefit from Dylan Johnston’s 7lb claim. Kilbrainy’s second at Musselburgh hasn’t worked out and he looks to be carrying enough weight in this. Fathers Advice may be the pick of the remainder.
