Verdict
Embsay Crag often flatters to deceive but is starting to come down the weights and he's back in the right grade. Stablemate Lord Luso is now tried in a hood while Sharivarry is another who struggles to get his head in front. Dianne Sayer runs Bunratty and Endeavor and there looks to be little to choose between the pair on past form but COPT HILL is preferred. Tracy Waggott's gelding won over course and distance in January and a repeat of that effort would probably make him hard to beat today.
