In depth
Verdict
A very competitive handicap here in which many can be given chances on there best form Cosmic Case has been in good form of late on the flat and over hurdles of late and was a good second behind Magic Combination over hurdles at Perth last time out but his best form is with slightly more cut in the ground, and he may be worth taking on with Ellamine who was doing all his best work at the finish over two miles last time out and will relish the step back up to this trip. Three Eagles will make a bold bid to make all the running on a course which suits front runners but he looks high enough in the weights for what he has archived. Golfagent won with more in hand than the official margin suggests last time and he is very much one to consider despite rising in the weights. Ballylusky is also one to consider but his best form is with more cut in the ground, while Able Native may be in the handicappers grip. Toad Hall is also one to note in the market but has a long absence to overcome.
