Verdict

There probably isn’t a lot between most of these on recent form. Amadeus Grey ran well behind stablemate Cassy O at Redcar while Carnival Zain just came up short here last month when on a hat-trick, though is 2lb higher now. Visibility won over 1m2f here eight days ago but carries a penalty dropped in trip. Successful at Ayr in April, Cosmos Raj hasn’t been beaten far the last twice but the three-year-olds enjoy a 10lb weight-for-age allowance at this time of year and GRIFTER showed he enjoys a stiff mile last time at Beverley. The less-exposed maiden Western Stars should also go close.
