Verdict
Slainte Mhath’s improvement has come on soft ground on Turf including a victory at Ayr back in May. But BILLY WEDGE (NAP) has won three times here and looks set to go in again off his current mark having finished runner-up over track and trip on his latest start. Lincoln Pride has been in the mix over 7f recently while Arnold has been in better form over the minimum trip of late.
