Talent Scout is the only course and distance winner in the line-up and though mainly consistent he hasn't scored for over two years, which is almost as long as the veteran Kiwi Bay. The former has a bit to find with Sunraider on official figures but the latter's seven victories have all been over 6f. Order Of Service hasn't replicated last summer's good form and Our Boy Jack only won a seller at Redcar last month after being beaten in three claimers. BEAUTIFUL STRANGER isn't the most consistent but if he can repeat the form shown when scoring under a big weight at Ayr last month he could take this for Keith Dalgleish.
