Verdict
Oscar Lateen made a good effort to follow up an earlier win at Newcastle when second at Musselburgh last time but is upped a further 4lb. Harleys Max has been raised 5lb for winning a novices' handicap at the latter track while Proud Gamble is upped in class on the back of a narrow victory also at Musselburgh. TIPSY DARA (NAP) has run well in both starts this year and this looks an easier task than when second to Swing Hard at Carlisle last time. The veteran looks up to winning this off his current mark with Voyage A New York perhaps proving best of the rest.
