Verdict
The old-timer Osteopathic Remedy has had plenty of success on this track over the years and it would be unwise to write him off from what is looking a very lenient mark. Taysh has been in very good form on ground with some give but has run well on fast going and should make a bold bid to defy a 6lb rise for his Catterick victory. ABUSHAMAH (NAP) does best on quick ground and is just 3lb higher than when last successful. He should be at his peak now and looks the one to be on, though Comino has a victory over 7f on the track to his credit and this is a slightly lower class event so he must be on the short-list. Energia Flavio has never won since arriving from South America but has invariably performed at a higher level and Richard Fahey should get a race out of him soon.
