Verdict
Zig Zag is 1-23 over hurdles and looks to have enough weight but Val Mome has run well in handicaps at Musselburgh the last twice and the ground is in his favour. Apterix can be forgiven his latest run at Sedgefield as he finished lame and has been given time to get over it. Pershing hasn't run for over a year but has won after a break in the past so could go well but this can go to WISHFULL DREAMING, who looked like winning at Newcastle last week only to be caught close home.
