      Verdict

      UISGE BEATHA found only the progressive Shanroe Santos too good at Musselburgh at the start of the month. That looks the strongest form on offer and Lucinda Russell's charge is taken to confirm running with Donna's Diamond. The latter had previously won at Kelso but runner-up Ballyboker Breeze re-opposes on much better terms today and can take his revenge. Huntingdon winner Derrintogher Bliss has a shout on today's terms and makes more appeal than Powerstown Dreams and the newcomer Can'Tbelieveit.
