Verdict
Two Auld Pals was having his 14th start when getting off the mark over 2m1f at Carlisle and his rider can utilise his 5lb claim here. SAMEEM has a penalty for winning a similar race at Ripon a week ago under Emily Roberts and should have no problems staying the extra. Bouncing Bobby was returning from a break when scoring over 1m4f on fast ground at Hamilton and a 3lb rise is unlikely to prevent another big run while Great Colaci has won 10 races and is on his lowest mark since 2020. Sir Joseph Swan loves this trip and fast ground though has not run since October.
