Verdict

Cooper has plenty in hand over Dutch Descent according to official figures and should go close but a couple of less exposed types also have a shout. Lewis Valentine ran well in both starts over 7f last term but returns to action and SKIDDAW VALLEYS has the more recent form. Alan Swinbank's charge found only one too good at Redcar on last month's debut, despite missing the break, and can go one better with that experience under his belt. Maleficent Queen is related to six winners and one to note on her first start.
