Verdict

Plenty are in with a shout so at the likely odds it is worth siding with RAY'S THE ONE who hinted at a revival when fourth to Beat The Heat over C&D last time and took this contest 12 months ago off a 7 lb higher mark. Jim Boyle's hat-trick seeker is feared most, although Tamaris is another who needs considering despite having a lengthy absence to overcome.
