        Verdict

        Morache Music won a seller over track and trip in July but this is more difficult and soft going is a worry. But BALLESTEROS will relish the ground having been placed in handicaps the last twice now. Richard Fahey’s charge is fancied to come out best dropping down to this level after a recent third at Musselburgh. Gilmer also drops in class but arrives out of form while Vroom and The Big Lad have no easy task on these terms.
