Verdict
Kingswell Theatre's Kelso victory over this trip hasn't exactly worked out so we'll take a chance on the fragile TARLAN. Donald McCain's eight-year-old has been difficult to train and has his first run since June but he's getting 7lb from Lucinda Russell's charge and that may be enough for him to get his head in front. None of the others have shown much in the way of ability so far and are likely to be fighting out the minor placing.
