Verdict

Irish raider Cheers Buddy is 8lb higher than when scoring at Bellewstown a fortnight ago while Argaki is penalised under the race race conditions for an earlier win at Ayr. Uncle Brit won in soft ground at Carlisle last month and would prefer more cut while Cadmium has been beaten in a couple of subsequent starts since winning over track and trip. FANTASY GLADIATOR got his head back in front at Nottingham recently and went close again at the same track last time when finishing ahead of Mount Cheiron, who was engaged here yesterday. Mike Appleby's charge looks capable of landing this off today's mark and gets the nod.
