Verdict
Elleon is 4lb out of the handicap but was only beaten a short-head by Onestepatatime last time at Sedgefield, with Skyhill a well-beaten fourth, and cheekpieces are added to the tongue-tie. Bretney is a real staying type who should be suited by this stiff track and Creative Control has shown himself to be suited by 3m this season. Court At Slip beat Return Fire by 14 lengths at Newcastle and then held off Onestepatatime at Sedgefield but a win at Musselburgh should have boosted the confidence of DUKE OF DECEPTION, who may still be well treated on a mark of 102.
