      Verdict

      Jwala has made all to win her last two starts and will go very close again if allowed her own way up front. That looks unlikely, however, as El McGlynn also made all to score at Haydock last time and Beau Mistral was never headed when scoring over C&D last month. The latter had SONKO behind on that occasion but Tim Pitt's sprinter re-opposes on much better terms here and can take advantage of the likely fast pace with course specialist Franny Norton doing the steering. Kool Henry is another who likes to race prominently and Vocational will need the gaps to appear drawn out wide.
