Verdict
Singapore Sling remains open to improvement after just four starts on the level but COSMIC RAY has enjoyed a fine season to date and is taken to land a fourth success of the campaign. He has obviously risen significantly in the weights but his respectable fourth to Gulf In Poets when upped in class last time suggested he is maintaining his level. Deansgate is down to a mark of 70 for the first time and could be a threat but still retains maiden status so Midlight could prove more of a danger in receipt of weight all round and with conditions to suit.
