Verdict

Most of the field can be given a chance so only a speculative vote goes the way of CROESO CYMRAEG, who won at Leicester before going close again at Carlisle. Sword Beach won over a longer trip at Windsor recently and Tommy G is in the form of his life having scored for the fourth time this year when successful at Musselburgh. Lady Reset has won over hurdles since finishing second at Sandown and Daheer could go well off top weight while it would be no surprise to see any of Starfighter, Arctic Vega, Fairmac and Pallas Dancer get involved.
