Verdict

SNOW WIND looks the one to be on after a promising debut at Newbury last month. Qawamees started off with a short-head defeat on soft going at Nottingham in November but finished a long way last on his return to action at Chelmsford in May, which doesn't look his form. Agincourt made an encouraging debut at Thirsk but ran poorly at Hamilton subsequently while Kitty's Cove will need to make major progress from her run at Carlisle to get involved.
