MAJORDOMO did well under the circumstances when making a winning debut in a Newcastle bumper and could be up to making a successful start over hurdles also with progress to come. He gets the vote ahead of Molly’s Lad and Lucy The Wire, who have both shaped encouragingly in their 3 outings so far.

Course winner TOMMY’S OSCAR comes here on the back of a good Musselburgh second and is fancied to go one better in this veterans’ event now he goes back up in distance. Empire Steel could emerge as the main danger if shugging off a lesser effort at Kelso, although Uttoxeter runner-up Hillcrest could also have a say if the visor works the oracle for a second time.
