Verdict
CYRUS KEEP (NAP) ran a little in snatches when third at Wetherby but that was only his fourth start over timber and he finished well ahead of the better-fancied Say The Word. Ruth Jefferson’s charge races off the same mark here, less his rider’s claim, and blinkers are added to help him concentrate. Spirit Of Waterloo was easy to back at Market Rasen but finished strongly into second so has to go on the shortlist. San Rumoldo’s run at Wincanton was too bad to be true but Roses Poses isn’t really improving and Calvinist has not been at his best the last twice.
