DUYFKEN 10/1 0.5pt E/W (1pt)
(bet365 - 3 places)
Duyfken has been highly consistent, 7/9 a top 3 finish over hurdles, 2 wins to his name, having scored on his final start of last season at Perth, prior to scoring for the first time step up to 2m4f in today’s same grade round
Musselburgh on his penultimate start. He ran well for 3rd at that same venue on his most recent outing in a valuable handicap for the class, and he retains potential for further improvement today with connections adding a first time tongue tie on board. His last 2 speed figures at this trip eclipse any of today’s rivals last time out figures, and he may just be able to get his own way out in front off a fair weight in this field.

JOIE DE VIVRE 6/1 0.5pt E/W (1pt)
(bet365 - 3 places)
Caught the eye when staying on strongly over 2m4f here at Ayr just 13 days ago behind the re-opposing fav, Fiveafterfour. Whilst Fiveafterfour is the less exposed and also expected to be suited by today’s step up to 3 miles, the 11lb swing at the weights may just prove enough to reverse the form of that last time out run. At the prices, Joie De Vivre is certainly looking overpriced for proving that theory
correct.
