Cookesgrove Lady bids for a five timer in the finale but may have to settle for second best behind MISSION CONTROL who is taken to follow up on a recent Worcester success with Kilgoran another to note in the market. The selection was well supported when narrowly getting the better of Agente Romano on his first run for Tim Vaughan. He does have a penalty to carry which will make life tough but he does receive his four year old weight allowance and is worth siding with again. Cookesgrove Lady started her winning spree in a seller and has continued to improve winning five on the bounce. She has to be respected but giving a stone to the majority of her rivals might be too much to ask for. Kilgoran is rated eighteen pounds higher over fences and therefore is well treated. He did however get well beaten behind Olivino last time out and that form has not been franked since so he has to be treated with caution. Mission Control has lots going for him and is the preferred pick.
