Verdict

Bayan Kasirga rattled up three wins at this time last year and returned to the winners' enclosure at Chester last month. He can figure along with recent Ayr winner Thorntoun Care, though the latter will need further improvement raised 8lb. Lineman, Highway Code and Cosette were all placed on their latests starts but are more exposed and WILLIAM OF ORANGE is preferred. He steps up in trip now handicapping for the first time after going close at Chepstow and Sir Mark Prescott's charge can open his account.
