BAWAADER finally got his head in front at Musselburgh last time but was demoted for interference and placed second. He can gain compensation in this given the weakness of today’s opposition. Point Of Honour has been in good form until struggling when favourite at Thirsk last time while Violette Szabo was placed over track and trip recently without threatening the winner. Theheartneverlies may do better on his second outing after wind surgery and Sun Crystal represents last year’s winning yard.
