Brave Spartacus never figured off a 9lb higher mark at Musselburgh having won at Sedgefield before that while Nautical Twilight scored at the same track last month but was well beaten at Newcastle on her latest start. Kelso winner BALLYVOQUE (NAP) fared much better on his latest outing when narrowly beaten at Musselburgh and, dropping back down in class today, George Charlton's charge gets the nod. Hartside showed a bit more at Bangor last week and can also figure.
