Verdict
THE CRUISING LORD has been threatening a return to winning ways including last week’s second here. He’s due to be raised 3lb for that effort and Kaiya Fraser takes 5lb off his back today. Symbol of Hope also ran at last week’s fixture here when going close over the minimum trip while Libra Tiger and McCauley's Tavern have both placed recently without looking like winning. Wadi Bani ran better than his finishing position suggests at this track last month and may prove best of the rest.
