Verdict
Eeh Bah Gum has won twice at Musselburgh this year and is a speedy sort. LEODIS DREAM has a chance if forgiven a below-par run at Nottingham three weeks ago as he finished ahead of Secretinthepark, subsequent Carlisle winner Ginger Jam, Soul Seeker and Eeh Bah Gum at York two runs ago. Fox Hill is only a pound higher than when just beaten over course and distance in June but Street Life is penalised for winning at Southwell at the start of the week. Amor De Mi Vida certainly isn’t out of this, despite top weight.
