If the word soft continues to hold its place in the going description then RIO COBOLO will have a good claim on this race. This son of Captain Rio loves some give in the ground and based on his win at Haydock two starts back a case can be made for him being fairly treated. Kevin Ryan has his string in good form so Green Manalishi should figure at a course he loves. Mister Laurel returns to racing after over 300 days away but Richard Fahey can ready one and based on his win two starts back is off a fair mark. Lots in with chances here but Rio Cobolo should run a big race if the ground has some give in it.
