Verdict
COTSWOLDS is taken to land the opener at the main expense of Phluke and Paraguay. The selection is a lightly-raced 4-year-old and he won well on his seasonal return at Catterick earlier in the month. He is making his handicap debut today but he is unexposed and with trip and ground to suit he looks the one to beat. Phluke by contrast is having his 72nd career start, but he did go close when last seen out so he is in good heart and he has won over the course and distance, although his low draw would be a negative. Paraguay has a good draw and he is back on a competitive mark so he has to be respected. Jonny Lesters Hair has gone well here in the past but he has been a little disappointing on his two starts so far this season. We will therefore return to Cotswolds who looks the one to beat.
