      Verdict

      Koolgreycat hasn't been seen since making all at Musselburgh in May and is racing from 4lb out of the handicap here so preference is for MAJESTIC MANANNAN, who finally came good over this trip at Carlisle last month. Dandy Nicholls' gelding has a penalty to carry here but may well have more improvement in him. Sonko is a speedy sort who shouldn't be far away but Chooseday seems better over 6f and is closely matched with Rusty Rocket on Haydock running in the spring. Dreaming Of Rubies probably has a few pounds too much now so C&D winner El McGlynn may be best of the rest.
