In depth
Verdict
Kabis Amigos gets the vote here with Bolton Hall and Burnley Al rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Motu and although having a penalty for that win his apprentice takes off a handy five pounds and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Bolton Hall rates the main danger on his latest second behind Wing Commander but all his best form is with more cut in the ground and he is passed over for that reason. Burnley Al is another that could go well but he is rising in the weights without winning and is passed over for that reason. Of the remainder Star Sign won well last time but this looks tougher and for the winner we return to Kabis Amigos.
