In depth

Verdict

Justified has been creeping up the weights without winning but this is his trip. El Jefe was favourite when second at Redcar but there is no guarantee he’ll stay this far. BOLLIN NEIL won on heavy going at Ayr, with Smart Lass beaten eight lengths in third, and has claims again despite a 5lb rise. Dynali should strip fitter for his run at Newbury and makes more appeal than Ambassador and the Philip Kirby pair, though Rayna's World did run a cracker in a mares’ Grade 2 at Cheltenham in March when last seen.
