A competitive seller with a whole host of lively contenders but can be narrowed down to Linden¿s Lady, Titus Salt, Jedeydd and Senor Bond with a tentative vote going to the last named. Going for a hat-trick after wins at Musselburgh and Hamilton where he was a length and a half too good for Titus Salt, Senor Bond comes back to Scotland in superb form and although carrying penalties for those successes he is one to keep on the right side of. Linden¿s Lady ran a convincing third in similar company last time out at Ayr and is another to note in the betting market as is Jedeydd who stayed on over seven furlongs to finish second at Ayr last time out and this step up to a mile will suit. But for the winner we return to the in form Senor Bond.
