In depth

Verdict

JUANITO CHICO only won a claimer over track and trip in March but beat the runner-up Javelin by nearly four lengths and can confirm superiority despite worse terms. Stablemate Fujaira King switched yards after scoring at Kempton in January and can also figure dropping back down a grade but Holiday Magic ran below par last time, though is only 3lb higher than winning over track and trip at the start of the year. Thorn failed to win anywhere in 2019 but slipped 10lb down the weights as a consequence and debuts for a new trainer today while One Cool Daddy tumbles further down the handicap.
