Verdict

A couple of these bid for hat-tricks but EMENEM has won in a higher grade than Calculation. The latter beat a subsequent winner at Haydock last time and has leading claims but Simon Dow’s charge dead-heated for first in Class 3 company over today’s trip at Newbury last week and may have the edge. Matchmaking will be sharper for a recent comeback run over 2m at Newmarket and is preferred to Exceeding Power of the remaining pair.
