Verdict

RANCO took a step forward from his reappearance effort when fourth at Newton Abbot 23 days ago and having eased further in the weights, he could be worth chancing to come out on top with the cheekpieces refitted now. Genever Dragon returned with a good second at Stratford recently and is feared, along with 4-y-o Only Fools. Jacks Orchard is another to note.
