PENITENT is taken to follow up form his recent Newmarket win while both Jeninsky and Guilded Warrior are worthy of respect. Willie Haggas has his team of horse in good order at present and Penitent added to his winning tally last time out. He improved from his debut at Doncaster and looks more than good enough to win off a mark of 84 on his handicap debut. Jeninsky is five pounds higher in the weights since winning last time out. He still looks well treated on his best form and if performing to his best he ought to go close once again. Guilded Warrior was only narrowly beaten at Epsom last time out and can once again be in the shake up, but for the winner we return to Penitent.
