Mark Johnston is the leading trainer here and rarely leaves a meeting empty-handed but Barnum has been a major disappointment on turf and looks worth opposing again. Alluring Star is chasing a hat-trick after a couple of wins at Carlisle, while Save The Bees only went down by a short-head at Hamilton last time though is 5lb higher in this. Barista produced a better effort against older horses at Leicester and should be in the firing-line but it may be worth sticking with ISINGY RED, who conjured a late burst to score over C&D last month. Nathan Alison will give him every assistance from the saddle and he is only 3lb higher today.
