Verdict
ATTENTION PLEASE is still improving over fences and returned to winning ways at Musselburgh recently with Shaiyzar well beaten in third. Rose Dobbin’s charge is taken to repeat last year’s success in this contest. Both What A Laugh and Bafana Blue went close on their penultimate starts only to disappoint when last in action while Achill Road Boy has looked high enough in the weights since scoring at Carlisle back in March. Iskabeg Lane was placed off a higher mark over the fences early in the year and makes most appeal of the remainder.
