Verdict
Irish raider Your Pal Tal made a successful trip over to Lingfield back in February while Cheeni finished in front of stablemate Goninodaethat when second here last time and is back on a winning mark. Allnite is one of the least exposed and wasn’t beaten far at Thirsk recently while Semana Santa is usually thereabouts though has just the one win in 26 starts. But VALLARTA was winning off a 14lb higher mark last summer and given Ruth Carr bids to win this contest for the fourth time in succession, it could be his turn again today.
