DUKE COSIMO returned to form with a win at Ripon earlier this month when the struggling Fast Act was well beaten. He has also scored off today’s higher mark in the past and is preferred to Intisaab. The latter still carries a penalty for an earlier course and distance success but ran well again at York last week. Cornwallville was well beaten in a higher grade at York on his debut for David Loughnane having won in the French provinces in April. Above The Rest has done all his winning over further and Hawkeyethenoo last won in 2012.
