Verdict

Richard Fahey's COSMIC SUN took advantage of a dropping handicap mark when successful over course and distance 12 days ago, remains well treated on his best form and looks worth backing to follow up off just a 4lb higher mark today. Ruth Carr's Amazing Blue Sky is likely to dispute the running with the selection but does not stay as well as the four-year-old and a bigger threat is likely to come from Mark Johnston's Chilly Filly, who has been running well but has paid the penalty at the hands of the handicapper. Lucinda Russell's Beidh Tine Anseo is fit from runs over hurdles but seems a shade high in the weights back on the level, while Jim Goldie's La Vecchia Scuola has struggled against the handicapper since winning at Pontefract three starts ago.
