Verdict

RAS KASSAR was unlucky to bump into an improved rival when runner-up at Uttoxeter last time, so he is taken to go one better as he makes only his third start for current yard. Tamarind Bay is feared most having won both of his chase starts so far, ahead of Follow Your Luck who is one to note on chasing debut.
