In depth

Verdict

Mark Brisbourne's Schematic looks sure to give a good account after his easy victory at Musselburgh. That was his first run in this grade and he should be capable of improvement. However, he has it all to do with City Flite, who was just ahead of him at Hamilton, yet meets him on 11lb better terms. City Flite, who will be visored for the first time, handles give underfoot and can prove too strong at the weights. Robbo's Rocket, has several decent efforts at this level to his name, but this will be his 13th race and it is hard to see him finding any improvement.
