Verdict
Pamak D'airy isn’t getting any younger but has won four times here, including this race last year when he beat Trust Thomas, now a pound worse off, by half-a-length. Ubaltique will have needed last month's run at Exeter and is slipping down the weights while Lucinda Russell and Derek Fox have been teaming up to good effect lately and Ballycool has been edging closer to another success, though he's disappointed on both previous runs on heavy going. NAUTICAL TWILIGHT still has time on her side and dropping back in trip might help her open her account over fences as she only weakened approaching the last over 2m3f at Sedgefield last time.
