In depth

Verdict

KING GOLAN just came up short at Musselburgh when chasing a hat-trick. He’s been raised a further 2lb but is obviously in good heart so should take all the beating today. Newberry New was back to something like his best here 11 days ago and looks a danger but it’s a while since Carlisle third Ueueteotl got his head in front. Craiganboy has won a chase but his recent form has been over hurdles and at Ayr.
