    Verdict

    Cockney Tai is interesting raider from across the sea and should go close, however we will take a chance with Awaaser, Hollywood Henry can also take a hand in the finish. Jamie Osborne's three-year-old showed much improved form over course and distance last time, finishing a close second behind Fantasy Crusader. The booking of Keiren Fallon is another plus and she looks the best option here. Cockney Tai landed a Fairyhouse handicap last time off a mark of 37. She has a little bit to find on official ratings, but she is on the upgrade and if she handles the surface she will be a danger to all. Hollywood Henry ran well behind Hiawatha over course and distance last time and could reward each-way supporters. Magari and Super King look the pick of the others, but Awaaser has more scope for improvement than most of these and gets the verdict.
