Verdict
Kyburg showed a glimmer of form in a handicap last time out and can land this very weak affair, Mountain Climb and War Feather may provide most danger. It is not often Paul Cole has a runner in this grade and this daughter of Silver Patriach could be the value. She has been running over shorter trips but with the sires influence she should be a better horse over middle distances. Mountain Climb is a rare thing in this race, a winner. He landed a similar contest at Bath in April and there is no reason why he shouldn't go close again against similar opposition. War Feather ran a respectable race last time out behind Ganymede and is one to consider for the places. However the trip should suit Kyburg and in a very modest event he gets the narrow vote.
