Verdict
BURAUQ won at Bath in September and scored off higher marks than today on the all-weather last year. He may prove good enough. Wimboldsley is getting closer and was beaten less than a length at Newcastle recently while Cadland Lad is usually thereabouts in this lowly grade but remains without a win in 18 attempts. He’s closely matched with Simply Black on running here last month while Cecile Royale is unexposed and could prove best of the rest.
