Santefisio was unfancied at Musselburgh last time and ran accordingly but had been in decent form on the all-weather before that while the veteran Beckermet has been running well for his in-form yard of late and may well reverse recent running with No Poppy. The latter bids for her hat-trick after a couple of wins in soft ground but it was fast going when Amazing Amoray finished a decent third at Newmarket last time and he can figure. NORTHERN FLING finally took advantage of a slide down the weights at Musselburgh last month and, despite a 3lb rise, remains on a lower mark than winning this in 2010. Jim Goldie's charge gets the nod to follow up here.
