Verdict

AWA BOMBA appreciated the step up to today’s trip when scoring here last week. He carries 6lb extra but drops down a grade for this and Tony Carroll’s charge should make another bold bid. Muqarred won over a mile at the track last month but found an 8lb rise beyond him back here last time. Bee Machine showed signs of a return to form when runner-up over 6f on his latest start with his only previous win on the all-weather coming over course and distance last year while Cosmic Chatter was placed in an amateurs’ race last time and may prove best of the rest.
