CASCADIA is only 2lb higher than when scoring at the track in October and finished ahead of both Majiz and Merchant Of Medici when fifth here last time. This looks no tougher and she gets the vote to come good again. Kolonel Kirkup is slipping steadily down the weights though looks no nearer to ending a losing run stretching back to 2012 while the remainder are even harder to fancy given their poor recent form.
