Verdict
Ocean Air scored over track and trip in between modest efforts at home in Ireland and is 6lb higher on his return. But MY VALENTINO beat Be Bold and Poyle George Two when successful over course and distance in July and won again at Musselburgh last time. Diane Sayer’s charge is fancied to make another bold bid in his current form raised only 3lb, though Mr Cool Cash looks a threat on last month’s narrow-margin defeat at Carlisle and makes most appeal of the remainder.
