3rd
Whiskey Priest would be the obvious call after his dead-heat success at Yarmouth, but he has to carry a 6lb penalty here and preference is for top-weight MISTAMAC Still a maiden after six starts, he was beaten less than four lengths in a good race at Newcastle last month and ought to go well off 3lb lower. Borough would be interesting if he doesn’t pull too hard early on, and he clearly has the ability to make his presence felt.

Darbucks is likely to prove popular after being collared late on by reopposing rival Jkr Cobbler over C&D last Monday and Christopher Kellett’s charge is fancied to turn the tables now 5lb better off with the latter. A chance, however, could be taken on TURBO COMMAND, who offered more encouragement when staying on into sixth over 6f at Hamilton last month. The six-year-old enjoys a 3lb drop in the ratings and could offer a touch of value now returned to 7f.

DISTANCES totewin: Archduke Ferdinand
A narrow winner at Musselburgh on his final start for Tracey Waggott three weeks ago, ARCHDUKE FERDINAND looks more than capable of defying a subsequent 1lb rise in the handicap and he is fancied to repeat the dose. Ayr Poet seldom runs poorly around here and must be respected in receipt of weight all round, while Star Shield ought to feature following a string of solid performances. Irish Flame remains unexposed and must also be noted.
