Verdict
A tricky start for punters but Bahama Moon should be winning soon and Georgian Firebird has also been thereabouts recently. Contre Tous has had wind surgery since failing to take to fences at Musselburgh and has dropped to a fair mark. Ain't My Fault makes his handicap debut but the assessor has taken no chances. Wetherby winner SUGGESTION couldn’t cope with a 9lb rise at Newcastle but may have simply come up against better-treated rivals. Philip Kirby’s grey is in the form of his life and his yard is also going well. Canny Style may be the pick of the remainder as Night Of Glory has switched stables and is returning from a break.
