Beyondtemptation has been a real credit to connections and Jonathan Haynes' front-runner was winning for the fifth time this year when making all over 2m4f here 12 days ago. She's gone up another 8lb but will be in the firing-line again and Thomas Dowson takes 7lb off her back, though quicker going would be a genuine concern. Clan Legend had been going well prior to running a shocker at Ayr, where he was pulled up. Oliver's Gold returns from a lay-off and will be back over fences soon but better ground will suit Rockabilly Riot, who stayed on late over 1m4f on the Flat six days. KUMBESHWAR hasn't won over hurdles in more than five years but is well treated as a result and will be all the better for his third at Kelso. With Circus Star another likely trail-blazer, he'll get the fast pace he needs over this trip.
