Cuban Slide took advantage of an early fast pace and beat three rivals by a wide margin at Musselburgh. Bombay Bazaar also won easily when successful over track and trip while Room Service made a winning debut at Wetherby. All of the above are penalised while Fusterlandia’s second at Leicester looks stronger form than Scoops Ahoy’s placed efforts here. But a chance is taken on LOADED GUN after posting an improved effort on the firm ground at Bath given Andrew Balding’s yard won this last year with a subsequent Listed winner.
