Ballymacduff signed off on a high at Perth, the handicapper hasn't overreacted and he has claims for a yard that does pretty well here but a chance is taken with WATERCOLOURS. He finished a long way down the field on his seasonal return but that run should have blown away the cobwebs and better is expected with Graham Lee taking over in the saddle. Mr Woods is no forlorn hope as he reverts to hurdling in search of a confidence boost whilst Role On was a useful sort in his prime and market support would make him of interest. Double Default is on an attractive mark on his best form so needs a market check but the consistent Glingerbank looks handicapped to the hilt whilst Stopped Out has something to prove.
