Verdict
The lightly-raced six-year-old, Cabuchon, got off the mark at Ffos Las last week and should go well again. But a 7lb rise may put the brakes on Ebony Roc's attempts to follow-up his win at Lingfield. Warwick winner On Stage gets an apprentice on board after a poor effort last time while both Balady and Flamingo Beat can be given a chance in this grade. Motion Lass is unexposed and steps up in trip but SIMPLE JOYS also has scope after finishing third on her handicap debut over today's distance and Andrew Balding's filly gets the vote.
