Plenty with claims in an open affair but DEQUALL looks worth sticking with having scored over a longer trip here last month. He can confirm running with Transpennine Star on this similar going despite the worse terms. Scoop The Pot also ran at the track last time but never threatened the winner when finishing second while Wakool and Sidi Ismael were both placed at Musselburgh on their respective latest starts with preference for the former. Red Reminder scored over 2m at Hexham recently while Sheriff Garrett and Against All Odds are not out of this either if back to their best.
