In depth

Verdict

Contract Scotland is taken to continue his winning run. He was a good winner on this track over three miles three furlongs when defeating Bo Dancer last time out by one and a quarter lengths and although he is rising in the weights this versatile sort is taken to score. Tobesure was a good second over this course and distance last time out when behind Jallastep and if he can reproduce that effort he will not be far away off what looks a fair mark. Eastern Tribute was a beaten favourite last time out at Perth and ran as if in the handicappers grip but if the break has freshened him up he will not be far away. A Few Bob Back looked an improving sort last season before disappointing on heavy ground if the ground does not get to soft he could run well at a fair price. Reverse Charge has good form but he has plenty to do off a mark this high in such a competitive race while a move in the market for Joe Luke should also be heeded.
