Verdict
Just Hiss can’t get much lower in the weights but has no form on going this quick and stable companion Perfect Swiss has been in better form lately. He blew the start last time at Haydock so that run was better than it reads. TANGLED has been very reliable this year and should be suited by the way this race is likely to be run so gets the nod ahead of the three-year-old Barshaa and veteran Irv. Coul Kat could also figure if on a going day but Ghost Rider is best on the all-weather.
