Verdict

A moderate handicap and Kunte Kinteh is a token pick ahead of Zabeel Tower and A Big Sky Brewing. Kunte Kinteh does have a couple of disappointing efforts to overcome but if the rain arrives in Scotland, he will be far from inconvenienced and he is at least off a helpful enough handicap mark. Zabeel Tower likes this circuit and has a fair record to boot. He is consistent enough for a horse of his ability. A Big Sky Brewing is worth a try over this trip. His last two runs suggest that a move up has been long overdue although fast ground would be advantageous. Baaher shaped with some promise in maidens before being comprehensively stuffed on handicap introduction. Royal Challenge is another to step up in trip. Paddy Mathers replaces regular rider, Danny Tudhope. Attacca is back off a winning mark this afternoon. Unfortunately his recent form has been nothing to write home about. Shunkawakhan is yet to win in eight turf starts but is nevertheless watched in the market. Willie Ever has threatened to get his head infront for some time but has managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory on numerous occasions. Joshua's Gold should be fit from a recent outing over hurdles at Wetherby. Beaumont Boy ran above himself in a recent Hamilton claimer but it remains to be seen as to whether he can translate that form literally. A tough puzzle for punters and Kunte Kinteh is the pick.
