Verdict
Cassandane hasn't progressed since winning nicely on her Bath seasonal reappearance when making all but her stable has an uncanny knack of returning inmates to their best and she's definitely shortlisted. The consistent Cisco Boy demands respect but the suspicion remains that he may be at his very best with some cut in the ground and CHARACTER ONESIE is preferred. He was well clear of the rest when a closing runner-up to Song Of Norway last time in a manner suggesting that this step up to a mile for the first time is a wise move and the excellent Samantha Bell claims a valuable 5lb. Salma Gondis has claims if turning up after a proposed run at Thirsk on Tuesday.
