Totally Scottish, Burren Moonshine and Westmeath Flyer are three against the field in a tough race to call for punters and the vote is given to Burren Moonshine. The selection was a fair third behind Jockser last time out. The step up in trip looks sure to suit and off the same mark here he looks the value bet in an open affair. Totally Scottish rates the main danger as he won in game fashion last time out when beating Celtic Blaze. However that was in a claimer and he looks vulnerable in this better race under his penalty. Westmeath Flyer is another that could go well. as he also won well last time when beating Uptown Lad but he has yet to prove he stays this far and looks opposable on that basis. Prestbury Knight is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but consistency is not his strong point. Of the remainder Misty Future has conditions to suit and is another to note in the market but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Burren Moonshine.
