Totally Scottish has at least threatened to win a race lately and gets the nod over Stylish Sunrise and Brother Cadfael, who have claims if they can transfer the best of their All Weather form to turf. Another to have a look at is Joely Green, who reverts to the Flat after a short spell over hurdles during the winter. He is weighted to reverse last season's Musselburgh form with Galandora on these terms and could easily make the frame if they all take their chances. Stylish Sunrise has improved for being stepped up in trip recently and should make a bold bid. However, he has yet to win a race and does not appeal as one to go overboard about. We much prefer the claims held by Totally Scottish, who is still relatively unexposed on the level and should be better suited to this trip than the marathon distance he tried at Pontefract last week. Hayley Turner keeps faith with the nine-year-old and her 3lb claim will obviously not go amiss for their cause tonight.
