Verdict
Recent Wolverhampton winner Abulharith popped up at 50/1 last time and it remains to be seen if he can reproduce that effort off a 5lb higher mark. Rosewood Lad, Sanctum, and Our Kes have bits of past form that suggest they could figure at this level and Princess Aliuska won a seller back in September. CAPTAIN COOL won twice at the start of the turf season but Richard Hannon's charge can only rate a tentative selection in a difficult race for punters.
