Verdict
The Yellow Mini’s recent second came over a longer trip at Bath and the remainder are looking to put below-par efforts behind them including COSMOS RAJ. He struggled over a shorter trip at York last time but should figure with a repeat of an earlier second at Hamilton. Danni California and Model Actress make their handicap debuts, though something looked amiss with the former over track and trip last month, while Twilight Song slips further down the weights.
