In depth
Verdict
May Remain is proving admirably consistent for the Cole team and another good performance is expected from the Mayson colt but he faces a tough examination to give 7lb to GINBAR (NAP). The Dascombe inmate ran a fine first race around Chester on debut when probably only losing out through inexperience. He will have learnt from the outing and can go one better. Just For Fun looks best of the Fahey pair but needs to improve and Shades Of Mist progressed nicely from his first run when fourth at Beverley last time but looks more like one for nurseries next time around.
