Verdict

Dan Skelton has a fine record with his runners at Wetherby and there's no doubt that West To The Bridge is an intriguing runner up in trip here. However, COUGAR'S GOLD is the preferred option having run with plenty of promise at Exeter on his return to action. Kapgarry produced a promising performance last time and is another to consider.
  1. Cougar's Gold
  2. West To The Bridge
  3. Kapgarry
