TARTAN GIGHA has been running well in better company without success. Third at Beverley last time behind Classic Punch, Geoff Harker's charge looks set for a return to winning ways in this grade. Thecornishcowboy is also dropped in class and not easily overlooked while last month's Polytrack winner, Rock Song, has a shout back on this surface. Kalily is unexposed and may figure on his handicap debut but the likes of Geeaitch, Frozen Over and Tight Lipped have a bit to prove stepping up in trip today.
