        In depth

        Verdict

        The horse with the best racecourse form is Jim Goldie's River Falcon who ran a pleasing race last time out over this course and distance. With a top Northern jockey booked this is the TEAMtalk selection. Next best is Natstelle who showed his liking for a soft surface when just being touched off at Hamilton last month. Any market move for this gelding would be worth noting. Stavros has been consistent without setting the world on fire, well beaten in a claimer last time out it will be a surprise if he is good enough here although his trainer is in fine form. Rare Destiny could be interesting outsider from the back-to-form Alan Berry stable. He steps down in class here and could go well at a price.
