Verdict

This won’t take much winning. Jamil won on the Flat after scoring at Newcastle in March but hasn’t raced since May. Glory is 0-31 and Brickadank 0-25 but Beat Box won at Ayr last December and has had a wind operation since last seen. Across The Channel wasn’t disgraced when fourth at Carlisle just over three weeks ago and Just Jess and LES’S LEGACY are previous course and distance winners. The latter is more likely to run his race than most so gets the nod.
