In depth
Verdict
Another uninspiring contest with few that can be seriously fancied. Bee Health Boy has clearly had his problems but this veteran showed that he still had his enthusiasm when runner-up in a seller on his comeback following a 31-month absence. Cowboys And Angels has been in good heart on the all-weather and has every chance at the weights along with La Koca but a very tentative vote goes to Yarob who landed a couple of similar events last term and showed that he was about to strike form on his latest outing.
