      Verdict

      Caspar The Cub bids for a hat-trick of course wins raised 5lb and should go well again. He’s just preferred to stablemate Cosmeapolitan though the latter isn’t out of this either. Part Exchange was placed over a shorter trip at Wolverhampton on her only start of the year so far but has been off the track since July. NOBLE EXPRESSION underwent wind surgery at the end of last year before being gelded and making a belated reappearance at Wolverhampton last month where he was narrowly beaten in third. He’s subsequently joined Jim Boyle and may well make a winning start for his new yard.
