        Verdict

        COSMIC RAY (NAP) never looked like being caught over 1m2f at Nottingham 12 days ago and can make all again here over this shorter trip. Despite a 4lb rise, he is still ridiculously well handicapped on past form and conditions are in his favour. Foxy Lady seems best at Wolverhampton while Spark of War, Remember Rocky and Haymarket are all returning from a break. La Sioux finished ahead of the selection on the all-weather in March but may struggle to confirm that form on Turf. Restive is a past course winner but may find this too short.
