Cosmos Raj was due to race at Kempton yesterday but Royal Advice has won twice over 6f here this year, including his latest start, though was well beaten over track and trip in between. LAXTON LADD has gone close over today’s distance at Wolverhampton and Tom Dascombe’s grey may prove the one to side with in this. Galeophobia wasn’t beaten far when fifth here earlier and could also figure but the remainder are harder to recommend.
