      Verdict

      Sammy B won nicely at Musselburgh in January but is penalised for that success and RANDY PIKE can take advantage. He finished well ahead of Brackenmoss Rory when runner-up at Kelso on his recent debut and can go one better in this. Grays Choice unseated over track and trip last time but had shown some ability before that while Nicholas T is related to winners on the Flat and fellow newcomer Just Brooke is a half-sister to a winner over hurdles.
