        Verdict

        This looks a rematch between Whispering Spirit and COBO BAY. The former came out on top over C&D last month but Conor Dore's charge re-opposes on better terms and is taken to reverse the form. Bountiful Guest has a chance at the weights and the return to Polytrack will suit, while Granny Anne scored over 7f here in February and should improve for her recent reappearance at Leicester. The remainder look up against it though Nicholas Pocock has the past form to figure.
