A competitive event with the vote going to COSMOS RAJ, who left the firm impression he'd have been right in the mix with more luck in running at Thirsk last time. Pembrokeshire shaped encouragingly on his recent yard debut at Newcastle and should tighten up for the outing, with Doncaster-scorer Yorkstone another to take seriously.
