Verdict

FESTIVAL OF AGES returns to action penalised for winning at Newmarket in the summer of last year. He also drops back in distance today but the opposition looks nothing out of the ordinary and Charlie Appleby’s charge gets the vote. Oscar's Ridge is a more recent winner at Chelmsford but was well beaten in third over 1m4f last time while Jamaican Jill is another having her first start of the year having placed over 7f last season. The remainder have even less to recommend them and the newcomer Plantadream makes little appeal on breeding.
