Verdict
Preference is for TAFSIR, who ran well from out of the weights in the Lanark Silver Bell a week ago and could be ready to strike back down at this level. Ancient Myth benefited from the application of cheekpieces when scoring with a bit in hand at this course last time and is feared most, ahead of Scarlet Moon.
