Verdict

Kyber can gain another course-and-distance success at the expense of Cotton Eyed Joe, Nero West and Danzatrice. Kyber has won two of his last four starts, including in an apprentice event here 16-days ago. He was given a confident ride by Gary Bartley that day, and looks set to follow up with conditions to suit. Strictly at the weights he has nothing in hand of Danzatrice, but the latter was well beaten at Ayr behind City Miss last time and is passed over again, despite the faster ground being in his favour. Cotton Eyed Joe is a bit high in the weights at present, and Collette's Choice has gone off the boil of late. Without being too confident, Kyber is the choice, despite the handicapper putting him up 6lb.
