        Verdict

        Cool Sands, Going Skint and Xpres Maite are three against the field in another trappy affair and the tentative vote is given to Cool Sands. The selection won well last time out when beating Effective and although rising in the weights he again looks the one to be on. Going Skint rates the main danger but he was behind the selection the last time they met and although he is better off at the weights his overall profile leaves him with a little to find. Xpres Maite is another that could go well but his best form is over a shorter trip and he looks opposable on that basis. Flying Bantam is becoming expensive to follow but he was staying-on strongly at the finish last time and he is worth noting in the market. Astronomical Odds is from a shrewd yard in good form so is the other with claims, Cool Sands has plenty in his favour and can land the spoils.
