Verdict
Yagan won over track and trip in August but was no match for the winner back here last time. Bugle Major also found one too good when placed yet again at Wolverhampton on his latest start while Omega has been hurdling though won on the Flat when trained in France. CHENG GONG has been competing over timber for some time now but won an amateurs' race when last seen on the level and gets a token vote debuting on the all-weather.
