Verdict

Kingston Mimosa appreciated the drop in trip at Chepstow but winning of this sort of mark has proved beyond him in the past. Cavalry Scout has been thereabouts the last twice at Market Rasen but remains winless. Mistercobar found only one too good over a shorter distance here in December while O'Rahilly will have needed last month’s run at Fontwell. DONATELLO MAIL won between the flags and a switch to fences here in December brought about the expected improvement – he can go one better today.
