Verdict

The standard for the newcomers to aim at isn't a daunting one so the market needs a close check. The Van Man can go well despite a wide draw, while Bernie The Bear can take a step forward from his Carlisle debut. AL HITMI ran with some promise at Hamilton last time though and he is preferred.[Paul Smith]
