    Verdict

    Just Us Two won over track and trip in the autumn and improved on that when making a successful reappearance at Windsor. He's a progressive sprinter and only 5lb higher but UPTIGHT can probably be forgiven his reappearance at Thirsk, where he was drawn wide and got no cover. He should do much better here having already won over course and the booking of Jamie Spencer catches the eye. Snow Cloud and Equally Fast both have their sights lowered and can also figure but this contest may be too hot for Beverley winner Stanghow and the now-blinkered all-weather winner Crosse Fire.
