Verdict

Gala Casino Star is only 1lb higher than his win at Haydock in July but today's going is a worry, while Only You Maggie has recorded her best form on a fast surface. Ullswater was well beaten on his only try in the prevailing conditions, but Tamanaco scored in soft ground at Haydock last season and could figure. Another who will relish the going is FLIPPING. He won twice over a mile last year so has something to prove over this distance, but a chance is taken Eric Alston's charge will last out the trip on only his third start of the season. Cobo Bay looks the pick of the remainder with Best Prospect being well below his best so far this year.
