Verdict
A few equine old-timers are facing the starter in this but 13-year-old Colbert Station went close over course and distance last month when ahead of Free World and makes more appeal than fellow veterans Creevytennant and Dantes King. The Ould Lad would not be without a chance and Full Trottle has been in great form between the flags. SIMPLY WINGS couldn’t quite cope back in handicap company at Leicester last month but this opposition should be more to his liking and he can notch a first success since 2015.
