        Verdict

        It is difficult to ignore the claims of TBM Can after his bloodless success at Folkestone earlier in the week and he is confidently expected to cope with his modest penalty here. Billy Bathwick and Shalbeblue are other in-form rivals who can at lest make the frame if building on recent form. However, TBM Can is really thriving on being kept busy at the moment and, as a previous course and distance winner, he should not be inconvenienced by the return to Musselburgh. He can round off the evening in fine style followers of the Fallon factor.
