Experience could count for plenty for VILLA TORA who can get off the mark here at the third time of asking for his Kingsley House handler, having looked a useful prospect so far. Faradays Spark looks to have plenty more improvement to come and his trainer has to be respected with his record with juniors, while Up Sticks And Go cost 20,000 pounds as a yearling and may be best of the newcomers.

NOAH AMOR was three from four this season for Richard Fahey and now makes his first appearance for David O'Meara hoping to continue his fine run of form. One Boy was last seen down the field in a hot Curragh sprint handicap and could bounce back to form here, while Bronze Beau was only beaten a short-head over course and distance last time and should have more to come from just 1lb higher.

Casterbridge should go well if turned out immediately following his Leicester success on Tuesday, but CONTROL CENTRE makes his first appearance for Majorie Fife and was a winner at two for Richard Hannon last term. He could be open to further improvement this year and gets a handy weight-for-age allowance in this handicap. Of the rest, keep an eye on Secret Missile, whose handicap mark continues to fall and is now 17lb lower than his last victory, and Picks Pinta.

Course and distance winner Falcon's Fire followed home a well-handicapped sort of Jim Goldie's last week at Musselburgh and could have more to come off the same mark here to keep this prize on Scottish soil. Gaelic Tiger failed to back up his impressive start to the season when stepped up in trip at the Dante meeting, but should have more to come now back in distance but preference goes to KINGTHISTLE, who was second last time and looks to have a victory in the tank off his current mark of 73.

Mark Johnston's record with three-year-old handicappers against older horses is always worth noting and TITI MAKFI looks another example of this. He makes his return having last ran with some promise in a maiden at Kempton and gets the vote over his more exposed rivals. Forever A Lady arrives on the back of a win at Carlisle and is respected under a penalty, while Flinty Fell looks best of the remainder.

BILLY BOND posted his best effort for a while when third over half a furlong shorter last month, having stayed on well at the finish, and is open to improvement now stepping up in distance. Colour Contrast looks a solid danger with likely progression on his second start for Iain Jardine, while Penelope Pitstop and Amy Blair are both respected if performing to their best.

CLIFF BAY has proven to be consistent in his two outings this season when beaten a narrow margin on both occasions and, despite going up 9lb in the weights for both efforts, looks capable of getting his head in front. Tread Lightly was runner-up on his handicap debut and is open to further improvement with the Tim Easterby yard currently in excellent form, while Four Kingdoms looks best of the remainder.
