Most of these can be given a chance. Blacklister and Wootton Vale fought their way to narrow-margin victories on their latest starts and both have a rise in the weights to contend with. But Toffee Apple failed to cope under a penalty last time having landed a double earlier while Muroor, Bit Of A Quirke, Calypso Delegato and PAGE OF WANDS were all placed on their latest starts. The latter was making her handicap debut when beaten only a head over today’s trip at Musselburgh and she gets the nod to come out best on that form.
