Verdict

Jilly Cooper won at Wolverhampton before finishing ahead of both Aljari and Fighting Temeraire when second here. Jenson Benson also went close again here having won over track and trip back in May while Granary Queen has been in the mix recently and could also figure. But novice winner HOW IMPRESSIVE has more scope handicapping for the first time on his reappearance having been gelded since last in action so he gets the vote.
