Mulligatawny scored off today’s mark at Musselburgh last year and has a shout on that form having placed at Ripon recently. But an apprentice’s allowance negates a 5lb rise given to HOWZER BLACK for winning at Haydock recently and Keith Dalgleish’s charge can go in again. Sister Midnight hasn’t figured over hurdles since joining Jim Goldie but won a maiden in France when last on the Flat while stablemate Sarvi scored over track and trip last year but remains 6lb higher. Five Helmets also won here last term though it was fast going on that occasion.
