Verdict
Tartan Cookie is still 7lb higher than for his only win so far but did hint at a revival at Kelso at the end of May. GLEN AVA looks on course for a hat-trick of victories over 3m here, however, as he had plenty in hand 10 days ago and still has scope over timber. No Fixed Charges was second over track and trip last summer when 2lb higher in the weights but it’s difficult to make a case for the remaining trio on recent form.
