Verdict
UNLEASH just failed to catch the winner when beaten a head over course and distance last month. Bryan Smart’s charge shares the same handicap rating as the more-exposed Acquisitor but the latter has yet to race on this surface. Expert Opinion has a bit to find on these terms and was no match for the winner here a fortnight ago but Big Thanks showed improvement when placed at Wolverhampton and could figure. The four-year-old Cobh Kid finished runner-up over track and trip in December but has no easy task on these terms.
