Verdict

JEANETTE MAY was winning for the second time here when successful over 1m2f. There may be more to come over this longer trip with a 5lb rise negated by an apprentice’s allowance. Danking failed to build on an earlier fourth over today’s distance when failing to figure at Kempton while Steel An Icon never threatened the winner when runner-up at Lingfield. Bristol Missile will appreciate today’s faster going as he steps up in distance.
