    Verdict

    Invincibly won a lower grade contest at Ayr last week and is penalised but A Boy Named Ivy went close at Thirsk and can figure. COSMOS RAJ missed out on a hat-trick when second at Newmarket but the winner has won again since and David O’Meara’s charge is taken to confirm latest running with Captain Cooper. Third Kingdom is fitted with blinkers after returning a disappointing favourite at Newcastle while both Power Station and Surprise Picture were well beaten off today’s marks last time having won their previous outings.
