Verdict

It's probably best to overlook PAPA COCKTAIL's latest effort at Beverley where he was poorly drawn. The 4-y-o won three on the bounce prior to that and he is taken to get back on track with another victory. Novak is bidding to complete the hat-trick and he is second choice ahead of Summer Sands, who shaped with encouragement on his reappearance at Thirsk and has slipped to a potentially very handy mark. Huddle Up is also in with a shout.

  1. PAPA COCKTAIL (IRE)
  2. NOVAK
  3. SUMMER SANDS
