    Verdict

    THE COLA KID had the measure of both True Mason and One Hart when successful over course and distance and went close again at Southwell last time. Collateral form also gives him the beating of last week’s winner Mostallim and Alice Haynes’ charge looks worth sticking with. Capla Spirit won an amateurs’ race at Southwell two runs ago and finished ahead of Eldelbar when narrowly beaten at the same track three days ago.
