Verdict
Cosmic Halo attempts to win this for the third time in a row but is having his first start of the year. Richard Fahey also runs PAMUSHANA from the bottom of the weights and the latter has every chance on her earlier third over track and trip in a higher grade than this. Distain is lightly raced and finished runner-up at Chester on her handicap bow and Freight Train is another unexposed type likely to improve. We may not have seen the best of Chief Spirit yet and Silvestre De Sousa's presence on maiden winner Robero takes the eye. Redcar winner Felix De Vega is upped in class off a 7lb higher mark and Samsonite's win at Pontefract came in Class 5 company.
