Verdict

Babytaggle has been in good form recently, especially around here, but is now 0-30 under Rules and 2lb out of the handicap. CAPTAIN COBAJAY made a winning start for North Yorkshire trainer Justin Landy at Market Rasen nine days ago and looks capable of defying a 5lb higher mark here and confirming that form with Costly Diamond. Kapsize has questions to answer after pulling up at Newton Abbot and Gaia Vallis probably needs to drop a few pounds but it will be interesting to see how the four-year-old Genever Dragon fares over fences.
