    Verdict

    Double Oban was well beaten at Chester on his handicap debut but is weighted to get the better of Intergalacticat on these terms. Swift Hawk debuted in a tougher race at Newbury and is preferred to Sindri but the vote goes to CRESTA CAT. The latter finished third over 1m2f on the all-weather recently but pedigree suggests he’ll improve over today’s longer trip and he gets the vote to open his account.
