Verdict

Jean Valjean has yet to win and was beaten in a seller here last month. ANOTHER BOY (NAP) has won four races, three of them on soft ground including under Charlotte Bennett at Salisbury last time. A 3lb rise is unlikely to prevent another big run. Milan Reef hasn't won for over two years and is still 1lb higher than that victory while My Law is still a maiden and only slowly dropping in the weights. Cotubanama gets to run on heavy going for the first time since scoring in those conditions at Salisbury in April last year.
