Tellovoi carries a penalty and is upped in class after scoring at Musselburgh last time. Chiswick Bey remains 7lb higher than his win at Lingfield in October but Surewecan went close again at Musselburgh recently having won at the same track earlier when beating GOLD FLASH. The latter re-opposes on better terms today and Keith Dalgleish’s charge may well come out best on this occasion. Shootingsta is yet another winner at Musselburgh but has been beaten off today’s mark on the all-weather subsequently.
