Verdict
Cold Stare has slipped down the weights and posted a better effort over a shorter trip at Haydock last week. But the return to soft ground witnessed DEPUTY gets his head back in front at Thirsk and Michael Dods’ charge should be in the mix again. The Cookstown Cafu won at Pontefract with Emperor Caradoc behind on his first start after wind surgery and is another to consider while Zip represents last year’s winning yard and Rich Waters placed in testing going at Brighton. Floral Splendour is unexposed and could also go well.
