With the better ground unlikely to be a problem for him, his can go to COSMIC CHATTER . Ruth Carr's talented gelding has been in good form recently, including when winning very impressively at Pontefract when last seen. He carries a 6lb penalty but is 2lb well-in on that basis, and looks set to run another huge race. The lightly-raced Cold Snap is feared most given his potential to improve, followed by Samarmadi , who simply ran too poorly to be true last time.
