      Verdict

      All of these, apart from John Kirkup, are previous course and distance winners but The Thin Blue Line was engaged in the 5.18 Hamilton yesterday. Primo's Comet was fourth behind the top weight here 11 days ago and also earlier last month in the race won by ROSE BANDIT. Iain Jardine’s mare will have to reverse subsequent Ayr running with Albegone but is 4lb better off and the latter is very much dependent on a fast break from the stalls. Rory looks held on the form book.
