A disappointing turn out for the prize money on offer but connections of Cassia Heights won't be complaining as the seven-year-old appears to hold solid claims. Steve Brookshaw's charge proved a progressive type last season winding up with a convincing success over course and distance in March. The son of Montelimar had been knocking on the door this term before an uncharacteristicallyc poor effort at Ludlow earlier this month but is worth chancing back at a track which suits well and gets the TEAMtalk nod. Winning pointer Minella Silver may struggle on his comeback under top weight while Gus Des Bois has something to prove after unseating his rider just two days ago so Reflex Courier, who shaped well last time, looks a bigger threat off his current mark.
