Verdict
It's hard to make a decent case for any of this bunch but THRTYPOINTSTOTHREE gets a token vote to finally open his account having placed here on several occasions this year. Play The Blues won at Lingfield last month but remains 5lb higher while Cherry Tiger has been hurdling but scored over track and trip in December, his only win so far in 16 starts on the Flat. Kyle Of Bute won here in January last year but failed to beat a rival on his recent return to action.
