In depth

Verdict

Jon Ess was a 33/1 chance when coming here for his debut three weeks ago but belied his odds with a cracking performance, just caught in the closing stages by Tuff Love. LOOSE CHIPPINGS wasn't particularly fancied for his opening run here in December and looked as though he needed the experience but he showed up well and looks the type to go on to better things so gets the nod. Power Of Ten is another who should improve for his opening run last month but Wild Shot's best run was on the Tapeta surface at Wolverhampton. Goodnite Irina didn't enjoy being dropped back to 6f last time after a narrow defeat over this distance and she should go well as should her stable companion Reek Sunday, who was staying on strongly over 6f a fortnight ago.
