      Verdict

      Tommy G and Hajjam are course and distance winners and Redarna landed this 12 months ago, ahead of Liam Bailey’s charge, and is only a pound higher. True Blue Moon also has winning form on the track but has almost five lengths to find with COLD STARE on their run together at Haydock last month and may struggle to reverse that form, despite a turnaround in the weights. David O’Meara’s six-year-old has his ground again and can get the better of Zip, who has had a break, and the three-year-olds Dancing To Win and Wobwobwob.
