      Verdict

      All are fully exposed and win in their turn. MONT KINABALU came back to form after a distinctly fallow period to score at Pontefract the last day, doing very well to do so from what appeared an unpromising position turning in. If he really has rediscovered his best, then the Ryan inmate is attractively treated here and should prove good enough to follow up. Course and distance winner, Ventura Gold, also did well to oblige last time but is not the most consistent of performers and making more appeal as the prime threat is the consistent Mulligatawny, although much will depend if he needs the run on this seasonal reappearance. Jacob Black is best of the remainder.
