Verdict

RED CYMBAL is the type to bounce back quickly, and with his last run easily excused, is taken to build on his 3 recent runner-up efforts and get back to winning ways for the first time since landing this contest last year. Dandy Spirit is feared most as he bids for a quick-fire C&D hat-trick, with Maggie Thunder and Ecclesiastical both holding solid each-way claims.
