Verdict
My Last Oscar will likely improve on his third at Warwick but VELASCO probably ran up to the form he showed when winning over track and trip in the summer when placed at Newcastle and he’ll also strip fitter today. Cowboy Cooper was well backed over course and distance last month and will be fancied to recoup losses but he was behind You Say Its Over that day, though ahead of Lunar Glow.
