Verdict

In the belief that the winner will emerge from those drawn high, a chance is taken with Intrepid Jack over the likes of Ripples Maid, Beckermet and Knot In Wood, while Hogmaneigh and Zidane can come out with credit on the stands side. Hughie Morrison landed the Wokingham 12-months ago with Baltic King, and saw Intrepid Jack finish an honourable 10th. Since then the five-year-old has been very consistent, and was somewhat unlucky in Listed company at Sandown last time, being hampered early on before finishing second to Dazed And Amazed. This track will suit, and with a nice high draw in stall 23, he should be well in the shake-up. Ripples Maid lost nothing in defeat to the useful Cartimandua in a fillies and mares Listed race at Haydock a fortnight ago, and is also housed on the far side, as is Beckermet who beat a useful field at Newbury on his last visit to the winner's enclosure. However, that was two years ago, and he has hit the bar plenty of times since. Richard Fahey reckons that Knot In Wood has the class to win a race of this nature, and off a low weight, with first-time blinkers fitted, he is interesting. Epsom winner Hogmaneigh has picked up a 5lb penalty and the draw is a bit of a worry, but he has been well touted, while Zidane has been hiked up 11lb for his impressive victory over the course-and-distance last time. Stablemate Firenze was second to Baltic King in this 12-months ago, and James Fanshawe's charge might also find a Morrison inmate too good in the shape of Intrepid Jack.
