In depth
Verdict
Gargoyle Girl won in game fashion at Mussleburgh last time out when defeating Johnston's Point by a head but that was with cut in the ground and she may struggle on this faster surface. Ring Of Destiny has been running well of late without winning and he may be in the handicappers grip. Colway Ritz is thrown in on his best form and he shaped as if returning to form last time out and he could go well at a fair price. Wiseguy is from a top yard and has shown ability on all his starts and he could be let in lightly on his handicap debut. Knavesnier Omen has been in good form of late prior to disappointing at York but it would be no surprise to see him bounce back to form in this wide open affair with the ground in his favour. Red River Reble won well at Beverly last time out but he will find this tougher under his penalty.
