Ryalex and Trongate look no nearer ending long losing runs but Westend Theatre has placed since last successful. Scottish Accent needs to find a bit more off his current mark having made the frame again at Musselburgh last time but a chance is taken on CENTRAL FLAME. The veteran has yet to win over fences but may finally have slid far enough down the weights to get his head in front judged on a second at Newcastle last time and gets the vote in a weak handicap.
