      Verdict

      Tamaska landed a double earlier this year including a course and distance success but needs to improve further off his current mark. He finished behind runner-up SYMBOL OF HOPE at Doncaster last week and Tim Easterby’s charge is taken to go one better fitted with a hood for the first time. Cool Dandy won at Carlisle last month but was beaten back at the same track last week while Equidae and The Mackem Torpedo have proven best on the all-weather so far.
