Sam Adamson is not the most reliable but he looks the one to beat here with Frosty Jak and Solway Sunset put forward as the main dangers. The selection won well last time when beating Mollycarrsbrekfast and on the evidence of that run he is the one to beat. However, that was his first win for three years and the fact that he had failed to get round on his previous four starts does temper our confidence. Frosty Jak could be the one to profit if our selection fails to fire as he showed improved form when chasing home River Quoile last time. He does handle cut in the ground and has solid claims. Solway Sunset was let down by her jumping at Kelso last time and she will need to have brushed up on that if she is make her mark today. Pardini is a course and distance winner but he looks a little high in the weights and for the winner we will return to Sam Adamson.
