Verdict
High Altitude finished in front of several of these when third here at the start of the week but was due to run for the second time at the meeting yesterday. Zahee has been raised 8lb for winning at Dundalk but LI MU BAI was only beaten a neck over track and trip on Monday when Gavin Cromwell’s charge was returning from only a three-day break after scoring at Fairyhouse - he can go close again. Double Kodiac has posted better efforts lately and Bardo Contiguo and Phantom Power placed on their latest starts while Denis Hogan bids to win this for the third time in succession with Atlas.
