After a staying-on second at Thirsk, Temper Trap justified favouritism in a classified stakes at Musselburgh and this isn’t much better. The Brora Pobbles must have some sort of chance and Scots Sonnet is another to consider but Rosemay, one of only two course winners in this line-up, turned in a shocker here last month. ABUSHAMAH has shown he retains the ability to win a race like this so gets the nod.
