    Verdict

    Cogital won on the Flat and over hurdles last year and was second over 2m on his reappearance at Chepstow but IDILICO isn’t going to get many better opportunities to end a long losing run. He was staying on when third over 1m4f here last month and slowly away when second at Nottingham subsequently. Spycracker is still a maiden but was only beaten a short-head over 1m6f at Musselburgh last year and the bottom weight makes more appeal than Clifftop Heaven and Sir Charles Punch.
