Torhousemuir finished a fair second at Plumpton after winning at Worcester and should be thereabouts again. Our Uncle Pat has placed the last twice but is still seeking a first victory. The Boola Bee found only a well-backed favourite too good on her reappearance at Perth and should strip fitter today but LOVE THE LEADER pops up at this level now and again and his latest fourth over timber at Worcester was his best run for some time so he could be worth a speculative wager in a modest finale.
