Verdict
Financer only found the useful High Degree too good over 1m2f at Pontefract earlier this month and a similar effort would see him go close, but the vote goes to COUNT PALATINE. Michael Dods' charge struck by a short head in this grade over 7f at Carlisle on his latest outing and looks to have been found a good opportunity to follow up. Of the remainder, previous C&D winner Wondrous Light makes the most appeal.
