        Verdict

        If fit following more than a year away, CINEMATIC can land this, with the main challengers expected to be stable-mate Risque Heights and Saucy. Jim Boyle's two runners are both course and distance winners, with Pat Cosgrave on Cinematic and George Baker on Risque Heights. Very hard to split them, but the former wouldn't be put in for this unless ready following a lengthy lay-off. Risque Heights won last time out at Kempton and has previously triumphed off a much higher rating. Saucy could be the one to split them. Towards the bottom of the weights, Tom Dascombe's charge won a weakish race here a couple of weeks ago, in some style, after coming to his yard in the autumn after an early career in her native Ireland. We think Jim Boyle will win it though, and he could even have the first two home, with marginal preference for Cinematic.
