The Len Lungo team rarely leave a Scottish track without a winner and Thoutmosis is fancied to maintain the impressive strike-rate from the yard's runners north of the border. Bodfari Signet will no doubt attract a fair chunk of support and should make a bold bid to defy top weight in this company. However, the eight-year-old has a tendency to down tools near the end of his races and is not one to trust implicitly. Neither are: Star Council and Howayboys Quest, whose overall profile is far from inspiring. Therefore, Thoutmosis is given a confident vote to continue on his upwards curve. Lungo's charge has improved with each run under rules and can make the most of a fair mark in only his second start in handicap company.
