Verdict
Sue Smith had back-to-back winners of this in the Noughties and BROTHER SCOTT won over course and distance just over a year ago when a pound higher. He's also been placed four times here so shouldn't be far away with his young rider claiming 10lb, though may have struggled to finish in front of My Idea at Kelso last time had that one not unseated his rider at the last. Mumgos Debut fell at the first at Ayr on his reappearance and may need another race while Reverse The Charge generally struggles to get his head in front, though the same can be said about most of his rivals.
