Verdict

CYRIL THE SQUIRREL is worth sticking with here. Karen George's charge has done nothing but improve this year, winning three times with two of those victories coming over C&D. He beat today's rival Join Up on both occasions and there is nothing to suggest the latter can reverse the form. He also beat Lujano here three weeks ago and Ollie Pears' gelding could prove a bigger threat if first-time blinkers work the oracle. Chookie Avon makes most appeal of the remainder.
