Verdict
Present Flight has been knocking on the door again lately but could probably have done without a 3lb rise in the weights. Sandy Forster is trying to strike while the iron is hot with LOWANBEHOLD. He runs under a penalty after winning twice at Kelso earlier this month but again has Jamie Hamilton's claim in his favour and the quicker surface won't be a problem. Ballyboker Breeze is best watched returning from a lengthy absence and Florida Calling is proving hard to place but Gallic Warrior is unlikely to be far away and preferred to Mossies Well.
