Verdict

In the finale, our vote goes to Spring Jim ahead of Jools, Resonate and Firewire. Much as he has been raised five pounds for winning at Nottingham, the lightly raced Spring Jim looked progressive there and is the type to keep on improving. As such, he looks the one to beat. Turning to the others. Jools is now back to a winning mark and looks set to go well, and Resonate finished well at Chepstow last time and now looks ready for this type of trip, although he has yet to win beyond seven. Stateroom has been knocking at the door from around this mark. Freeloader is five-pounds above a winning mark but cannot be ruled out entirely, while Terraquin is now rated six pounds lower than for his most-recent victory. Firewire runs here under a penalty and, if you take Captain Marryat form literally, has a chance against the selection. He might even give him the most to do but, for today, we will side with Spring Jim.
