        Verdict

        Society Lion and Cold Stare were separated by less than a length when coming home one-two at Thirsk a week ago and there should be little between them at the revised weights. Both will surely be in the mix once again but COCO BEAR rather impressed with the nature of his reappearance success at Windsor this month. Saffie Osborne retains the ride and a course and distance success is another plus for the Chamings gelding. Maxzeno was beaten in a three-horse affair last time and remains hard to assess after just four outings, whilst Silent Flame has the form to figure, but unlike the aforementioned quartet is having a first start of the campaign and may just need this.
