Verdict
CIVIL UNREST makes a quick reappearance after landing a conditionals' race at Musselburgh on Thursday. He's a winner without a penalty and can go in again. Tiny Dancer returned to action in a higher grade novices event at Carlisle and may do better now handicapping, but Trust Thomas disappointed at Sedgefield last time and may be best watched for now. Vodka Red finished well ahead of Rhymers Stone when fourth here last month and should confirm running without being good enough to win.
