Masterofceremonies is a rare flat runner for Jimmy Moffat however preference is for BULL MARKET granted a strong pace. Although most of his wins have come over further, the selection is effective over this trip as long as he gets a fairly strong pace in the contest. With a couple of pace-setters that should be on the cards and he can win off this mark of 73 returned to the level again. Star Strider is a course winner, as is the recent scorer Brouhaha who is well-drawn but he has an 8lb higher mark back in handicap company today after that maiden win last time. King Kenny is one to watch closely for market support as he returns from three months off. Follow The Flag and Ours are two course and distance winners in the line-up, whilst a visor is tried on Five A Side for trainer Evan Williams who had a good flat winner earlier this weak. Irish raider Ludwigshafen is another to take seriously off this mark of 66, but eventually she is taken on with Bull Market who is taken to charge home.
