      Verdict

      Only eight runners are due to face the starter in this but it's still an interesting little contest. CARDINAL had Captain Scooby more than 11 lengths behind over 6f at Windsor last time and is just as effective over the minimum trip. Robert Cowell's entire is only 4lb higher here and will love the soft ground so a follow-up is a distinct possibility. Rash Judgement is starting to look well handicapped but looks held by the selection on his comeback run while Osiris Way may not be up to winning in this grade nowadays but Bouncy Bouncy is usually thereabouts and Jack Luey was only beaten half-a-length at Doncaster last time and finished ahead of Captain Scooby at that track in April. Interakt is preferred to Matsunosuke of the others.
