Verdict
Chicago Outfit has been raised 12lb for an easy win over course and distance last month but is now 7lb higher than when only sixth in this last year, though does appear to have the beating of Glenwood Prince and Northern Executive. Solway Legend got off the mark at Perth last month and has every chance of following up with Ryan Day again claiming 7lb but Newcastle winner Highlander Ted was well beaten off today's mark here last time and West Of The Edge is still acclimatizing to new surroundings. VISION DE LA VIE (NAP) did little wrong when second to Jack Albert at Kelso. Only five, he can only improve and, as he should again beat fourth Emkae, looks the most likely winner of this.
