    Verdict

    Kevin Ryan's JIGAJIG escapes a penalty for his three-length win at Musselburgh last week in an apprentices' handicap and is hard to oppose in his attempt to complete a hat-trick with the main dangers looking to be Taborcillo and Dower Glen. Noel Wilson's filly has been running consistently well of late but is held by the selection on running at Musselburgh so she may be booked for a place at best. Grace And Virtue has slipped to a fair mark but is hard to back with any confidence following recent runs in Ireland, while Monte Mayor One is another that has plenty to find with Jigajig on Musselburgh running. Michael Dods has his string in good heart so Patch Patch has to be considered, although of more interest may be David Barron's Catterick winner Taborcillo, who seemed not to get six furlongs on his first start after that success and is better than he showed at York last time. Jigajig has done little wrong of late though and he can win again off the same mark as when successful at Hamilton.
