Verdict
Nacho has proved best on the all-weather so far having won three times at Wolverhampton but FOSSOS has won twice over course and distance already this year including on soft ground. He placed here earlier in the week when Kaswarah was well beaten and gets another chance in this. Coronation Cottage would prefer faster going while Autumn Angel debuts for a new yard on her reappearance.
