Verdict
Some Lad may have been a lucky winner at Kelso but only has a pound more to carry. Amilliontimes deserves a change of fortune but the handicapper still appears to have him firmly in his grip. Strobe goes well here but isn't getting any younger while Harleys Max has been raised 4lb for finishing second at Kelso. MY IDEA can't be guaranteed to reproduce his comeback run at Hexham but is on a winning mark and Daragh Bourke is good value for his 5lb claim. Here Comes Love could also be interesting making his handicap debut over fences after just one run.
