In depth

Verdict

Tomshalfbrother has been in good form over the minimum trip and Josies Kid has been thereabouts over the same distance. Show Me A Sunset is another upped from 5f after a better effort at Southwell while Billian’s recent victories over today’s trip came in classified and amateur races. JUNGLE RUN hasn’t won since successful over course and distance last year but a decent fourth in a higher grade sprint at Lingfield last time earns him the vote.
