Verdict
TINSILL (NAP) scored over track and trip last week and a 6lb penalty is negated by Anna Hesketh's allowance. He should make another bold bid as this looks no tougher. Red Forever finished closer at Ayr recently, with previous Musselburgh winner Scoreline behind, while the drop back in trip should suit Shades Of Silk who attempted to make all over 6f at Haydock last time but just failed. Lucky Times has been placed over the minimum trip and may prove best of the rest.
