In depth

Verdict

Baldomero has been thereabouts at Kempton recently and finished in front of Justcallmepete when runner-up last time. Zaman Jemil placed at Thirsk when last in a handicap while Probe won at Wolverhampton on his only previous start on the all-weather. But ABOVE won this in 2021 off a 5lb higher mark and returns to this surface having scored at Newmarket earlier in the season.
