      Verdict

      JEBEL TARA'S winning run came to an end over 7f at Musselburgh last Saturday but this is the trip at which he'd been thriving previously and he may have one more victory in him before the weather turns cooler. Signoret is preferred to Exentricity of the two three-year-olds but Captain Scooby makes more appeal given he normally goes well for an inexperienced pilot and won at Nottingham last month. Teetotal is on a long losing run and Half A Billion hasn't been firing this year.
