Verdict
A good field line up for this decent prize and there are a number here with decent claims. The Fisio battled on well at Windsor recently and has to be respected along with the tough Moon At Midnight and the un beaten Tout Seul, although the latter is far from certain to be at ease on the likely fast ground. Cosmo might just prove good enough having showed plenty of ability when runner-up on his sole start behind the well regarded Al Turf at Newbury. The Hannon yard will have a line to a number of his rivals and Cosmo could well score at the chief expense of The Fisio.
