Verdict

Not a particularly appealing contest and it may be worth looking to the stable that have won this for the past two years – Peter Bowen – for inspiration with stable debutante ONTOPOFTHEWORLD who is well weighted on his old form. Cornish Warrior needs to find more to follow up his Ffos Las win but has won here before while the blinkers will have to bring about a change of fortune for Fear Glic. Both What A Laugh and Tara Mac will need also bounce back from poor performances last time.
