Tectonic didn't look very keen when second over 1m2f at Ayr last week but still finished a place in front of Lord Franklin and two ahead of Cherry Tree Hill. The trio meet on identical terms here. The three-year-olds Bonne Amie and Chrisnickdave should be monitored closely in the betting as both are relatively unexposed but MEGLIO ANCORA looks to be on a fair mark at present and, after a pipe-opener over hurdles last month, could be a decent bet to get back to winning ways here. Flipping went close at Musselburgh last month but is 2lb higher today.
