Race preview
Bill Baxter commands respect after he appeared to be all out when putting up a game performance to get the better of Salvino (second) and Half Track (third) over this C&D last month. However, the selection goes to FAME VALLEY, who created a strong impression when bolting up at Kelso in October and he could have more to offer now having his first taste of this longer trip. Firth Of Forth could have a say for the places if building on his latest fourth at Carlisle.
