      Verdict

      A weak start to proceedings should concern Frank's Quest, Lunar Leader and Dancing Key, with the latter getting the nod. Barry Hills rarely wastes his trips up to Scotland and the hint should be taken with Dancing Key who was a beaten favourite at Southwell when running much too freely. It has to be said that she has been very disappointing so far and is not a 'mortgage' job, but the rest are just as moderate. Lunar Leader showed improved form behind Eastern Dagger at Leicester, but a bigger danger may be Frank's Quest, who came good for his current stable at Ripon in a similar race to this. The ground was on the soft side then though, and he may be taken off his feet on the faster going. Dancing Key is no world beater but should just about scrape home.
