Verdict
Valadom is back on a winning mark and will ensure there is no hanging about but Brotherly Company will likely need this. Calipso Collonges won at Kelso in November and was taking on stronger opposition when third at Haydock seven weeks ago. Glen Forsa has plummeted down the weights but the former Grade 2 winner is on a long losing run. COOL MIX finished eight lengths ahead of the latter when third last time at Doncaster and is back on the same mark as when scoring at Wetherby late in 2020 so gets the nod.
