Bishopbriggs could be interesting for a new yard, however it is STREET POWER who is fancied to complete a quick-fire hat-trick. Jeremy Gask's gelding started his handicapping career on a mark of 55 after three just average runs in maiden company. His in-form yard have exposed that mark as lenient with two recent wins over this course and distance and he is expected to defy his latest penalty despite the car-park draw. Just Jimmy is consistent along with Marmooq, whilst Duke Of Milan has a pull in the weights with the selection for their latest clash where he was a narrow runner-up. Convallaria was a winner when last seen and has a good draw to work from; the subsequent break may have freshened up Chris Wall's inmate. Divertimenti is another last-time-out winner, whilst Tuxedo is just one of many course and distance winners in the line-up but he was disappointing last time out. A tricky handicap, but the in-form Street Power can win again.
