Verdict
This looks more competitive than earlier division but JAHBATH will likely prove popular. He missed out by only a neck over 7f at Salisbury on his debut and should go close stretching out to a mile today. Surrey Warrior will be winning soon judged on a recent second at Lingfield while Fares Poet and Characteristic have shown enough to suggest they could be in the mix. Pop The Cork never figured from an unfavourable draw at Chester but was placed here on his earlier debut and is preferred to London Pride.
