Verdict

A lottery of a handicap further complicated by Admirable Art having run here yesterday but still holding every chance if taking part again. But a token vote goes to WORLD RECORD, who attempted to make all here last time and would have finished closer if not for being hampered and eased down in the closing stages. Venus Marina won at Yarmouth in August, Jackpot won at Kempton in January while Jay Bee Blue slips further down the weights as he attempts to bring a long losing run to an end.
