Verdict
CULLODEN finally got off the mark at Musselburgh last time. He returned a clear winner and a 5lb rise may not be enough to anchor him in this modest company. Manipura went close in soft ground at Leicester recently with Andalusite three lengths behind and can race off the same mark while Tasaaboq’s win at Wolverhampton earlier this year remains his only success in 33 starts. Wattaboutsteve was narrowly beaten over 6f last month and Ryan Style is having his first start of the year.
