Verdict

Paul MIdgley has coaxed the veteran OLDJOESAID back to form and the nine-year-old was unlucky not to follow up his Musselburgh victory at Ripon where he missed the break. He can make amends despite a rise in the weights though any further rain would play to the strengths of Jack Luey, who ploughed through the mud to score at Hamilton on his final start of the last campaign. Cruise Tothelimit almost made a winning reappearance at Windsor when Wasim Faris, who wasn't beaten far at Newmarket on Thursday, was behind but faded over Sandown's stiff track later. Cocktail Charlie has only won once in his career but has slipped to a lenient mark and is well enough drawn to get involved.
