Verdict

A competitive opener in which the vote goes to SPIRIT OF ASH, who found only one too good in a slowly-run affair over 12.4f last month and reunited with Jason Hart, she can gain course victory number 5. Cold Henry is a reliable type so he could give the selection most to think about, with Heatherdown Hero and stable-switcher Ghadbbaan taken to fight out minor honours.
