        Verdict

        Blue Geranium looked ideally suited to this trip and fast ground when scoring at Yarmouth though will need a bit more from 4lb higher. Ellaal has now won ten races, the last three of them at Musselburgh, though he didn't have much to do to score there last time and he's up 6lb. Rebel Lightning has only won at Wolverhampton and looks a few pounds high while Gannicus is inconsistent. TELLOVOI scored over this trip at Musselburgh in May and has found stepping up in class beyond him subsequently so he's taken to get back to winning ways in a moderate handicap for the track.
