Scoundrel had Burmese Blazer back in third when scoring at Musselburgh recently and should go well again despite stepping up a grade though the latter re-opposes on better terms. But ALSVINDER came good in a similar sprint to this over course and distance earlier this month and is taken to go in again despite a 4lb rise. Oriental Splendour finished a bit closer at Beverley last time having slid down the weights this year but the remaining pair are hard to fancy.
