Verdict

RAILWAY RICO made all for a comfortable win over C&D earlier this month and appeared to run up to that mark when second in a claimer at Southwell five days ago. Providing recent exertions haven't taken their toll, Paul Rich's lightly-raced seven-year-old could be the one to beat again despite the penalty. Extremely So has the past form to figure but she's been below her best so far this season and both Unwanted Gift and Gud Day have found at least one too good in their races so far.
