Verdict

The recent form of some of these has been nothing to write home about and the selections can soon be whittled down. The pairing of Kassala and Richard Johnson takes the eye and it could be a lucky third time that the partnership are reunited. The six-year-old takes a drop in class from his last outing and his preference for firm ground can only strengthen his case further. Gipsy Geof has been kept busy of late and can chase him home along with Special Agenda, is fairly consistent but often finds a few too good.
