Verdict

Annaluna won last year's renewal but is 6lb higher this time round. Cool Sky scored over 1m6f at Nottingham back in May but DAGHASH has the more recent form with last month's defeat of Spice Fair over today's trip at Ffos Las. The latter has subsequently won so the form looks solid and Stuart Kittow's charge gets the vote to confirm running with fourth-placed Ivanhoe and Rowlestone Lass and go in again. Chadic won over a shorter trip here earlier but was tailed off last time while Gabrial The Duke has looked in the handicapper's grip since winning at Musselburgh in May.
