Verdict
CYBORA may be able to land this contest with Royal Hilarity and Ravenscar amongst many others that could feature. Cybora hasn't proved easy to win with either here or in France but she has made the frame a few times and has shown enough to believe that she can pick up a race of this nature. She's not bombproof though and there are a number of dangers including the likes of Mr Ironman and Jomelamin. Ravenscar appeals as a live danger having returned to action with a decent effort at this track earlier in the month whilst there may also be more to come from Royal Hilarity. Ian Williams' runner has taken a while to get his act together but ran with some promise at Uttoxeter and may benefit from being dropped back in trip. Not a race to get carried away with and Cybora is only a tentative suggestion.
