Verdict

Eligible finished with his customary late surge when winning over track and trip last month but needs things to fall his way. The veteran Scottish Summit won at Thirsk last time with LIAMARTY DREAMS not far behind in fourth and the latter went on score on the fast ground at Musselburgh a fortnight ago. Darkness has yet to win for David O’Meara though has gone close the last twice while Admiral D looks no nearer winning and the latter’s less exposed stablemate Indian Falcon steps up in trip.
