Verdict

Ayr third Mad For Road has scope for further improvement. Kelso winner Some Lad only found one too good on a return visit to the track while De Chissler is usually thereabouts in this grade. Urban Kode has the past form to figure but Captain Sharpe finished tailed off at Sedgefield last time. DALSTONTOSILOTH hasn't managed a win in 14 career starts but it could be his day today if he reproduces his latest third at Musselburgh where he only gave best close home. Amazing Blue Sky won several times on the Flat and is tried in a handicap for the first time over timber.
