Returned to form when back up in trip at a favoured venue, beaten 1/2l off 53 at Hamilton last time. A Hamilton specialist who is suited by cut and now back to form off a reduced mark, could build on that.

Game when scoring by 1/2l off 50 over 9f here three starts back. Made too much use of when rushed up after missing the break and failed to get home, sixth beaten 9l off 53 last time. Effective 8-9f; inconsistent but goes well at Musselburgh.

Verdict
TEMPER TRAP bounced back to form when a close second at Hamilton a couple of weeks ago and Tim Easterby's gelding has to be respected off the same mark here. The recent Beverley third Overlooked could prove to be the main threat, although Zebra Star and Jump The Gun are others who arrive here with valid form claims at their best.
Expert View Verdict
TEMPER TRAP was back to form at favoured Hamilton last time, but he has won here and his mark is unchanged following a second placed finish last time out and another win looks close. 3-time CD winner Without Delay stopped suddenly up in grade last time so we can probably put a line through that run, but is just 1lb above her last winning mark, which came last month at Catterick and a return to Musselburgh is a plus. Hinitsa Bay can make up the places, he has not been out the front 2 in his last three starts and should have more scope to improve.
