Glasses Up bids for a seventh course victory and won over 1m6f at Musselburgh earlier in the campaign. Greengage’s last two victories came over this course and distance while Dark Jedi continues to run well despite only managing a fourth at Doncaster last week. ANNANDALE probably went off too quickly in the Melrose at York last month and paid the price in the closing stages. The quicker going will aid his cause today and he wouldn’t be the first Mark Johnston handicapper to bounce back from a poor run.
