Verdict

In receipt of weight from the field, this looks a good opportunity for POURQUOI PAS PAPA to get off the mark following a hat-trick of runner-up finishes. Aguellid has plenty of potential and will be a serious danger if settling better, while Bright Legend can be competitive if recapturing his Irish form. One-time useful Flat stayer Galashiels and point winner Mossy Fen Coolio both warrant a market check.
