Verdict
Shine A Diamond looked in trouble when left clear at Musselburgh during the week and was the only one to complete. He carries a 7lb penalty in this and SOME LAD is preferred. The latter scored over track and trip three weeks ago coming out best in a tight finish with Wakhan. The latter could only manage third when favourite at Hexham yesterday and may be a doubtful participant. The remainder are hard to fancy unless French-import Traprain proves above average on his first start since 2013.
