    Verdict

    This looks wide-open but Bapak Asmara will have had his confidence boosted by a maiden win at Thirsk. SNOW CLOUD finished behind Penny Royale at Ripon a month ago but the combination of a drop in trip and faster ground can see the recent Doncaster third reverse the form and land this ahead of Bath runner-up Rahmah. Gold Flash drops a grade and makes more appeal than Effusive of the others.
