Oscar O'scar tends to reserve his best for Sedgefield and was just beaten there in December. But he won off a 9lb higher mark here two years ago so has to go on the short-list in an uninspiring contest. Dun Faw Good finally opened his account under Rules at Musselburgh last month and the ground has turned in So Satisfied’s favour as he won on heavy going at Catterick in January. TIKKANDEMICKEY is in the veteran stage now but Raymond Shiels’ charge returns from his customary mid-season break on a decent mark so gets a tentative vote.
