Verdict
Twice a winner here, CHERRY COLA has been hurdling over the winter so may enjoy a fitness advantage over some of these in a race that won’t take much winning. Aria Rose rattled up a hat-trick on the all-weather at the start of the year but has never won on Turf. Idilico and Ranco aren’t out of this but the returning Hawridge Flyer has often struggled to get his head in front.
