Verdict

There are a couple of unexposed types in this. Queen's Course, a shade unlucky at Chelmsford last month, lurks near the foot of the handicap but DUE CARE makes more appeal. He will be helped by Thomas Greatrex’ claim and was hampered by a wide draw when well backed at Windsor on his reappearance. Newton Jack has been raised 4lb for winning in a lower grade at Chepstow but should be thereabouts again while Proclaimer was checked at the start when third over course and distance on his return to action. Yukon Mission makes his Turf debut, however, having failed to score in nine attempts on the all-weather and Bolly Bullet is also proving expensive to follow.
