Frangarry suffered a narrow-margin defeat at Yarmouth last time and Penny Royale was beaten a length when third at Ayr recently. Tinsill was runner-up at Hamilton last week when ahead of Gaelic Wizard and all of the above have a shout off their current marks. STORM TROOPER was having his first start since 2014 and making his debut for Dandy Nicholls at Musselburgh a fortnight ago. He ran well until fading in the closing stages in much better company than this and should make a bold bid today.
