        Verdict

        Maxamillion Bounty carries top weight in his first handicap but has been knocking on the door in maiden company and unlikely to be far away again. The vote, however, goes to CARROWBEG who is now tried in a visor after blinkers failed to have the desired effect at Hamilton last week. Mark Johnston's colt undoubtedly has some ability and looks a better bet than stablemate Palagonia. Ventura Sands won at Musselburgh in April but has struggled off higher marks since while both Phair Winter and Byron Bear were below par last time.
