Forecasts

Smokey The Bandit (11/10), Half Track (2/1), Scottish Accent (5/2), Tartan Cookie (7/2), Black Minster (4/1), Spike Jones (9/2), Le Grand Vert (15/2), Stowaway John (10/1)

Verdict

HALF TRACK displayed a good attitude when going in at Ayr (form been franked) and looks to have got into handicaps on an attractive mark so is fancied to follow up with the longer trip a plus too. Smokey The Bandit is also weighted to go well dropped 4 lb for his Musselburgh third, while in-form duo Spike Jones and Scottish Accent can't be discounted either.
