Verdict
Jean Baptiste won this last year from 1lb higher then completed a double at Hamilton. However, he was engaged at York yesterday and his stable look to have a better chance with Cockalorum, on a hat-trick after two victories at Ripon and only 2lb higher. BOX TO BOX completed a double on fast ground here last summer and after a spell in Bahrain reappeared with a fair effort on ground too soft here last month. He can get back to winning ways as Windsor runner-up Tuxedo Junction hung right-handed in the closing stages.
