Verdict

A winner over track and trip last June, Jean Baptiste has slipped back to a winning mark after a couple of unplaced efforts this season. Thunder Max attracted market support on his reappearance at Haydock and ran a nice race. Blinkers are fitted here and he should go well again. Amor Vincit Omnia finished behind Stately Home at Newbury but may well reverse that form with a run under his belt. Box To Box won twice here last summer and is nicely treated back in this country having wintered in Bahrain but CITY STREAK can win for the first time on Turf after a very encouraging return to action at Chelmsford.
