Verdict
WOTASHIRTFULL is taken to land this at the main expense of Chjimes and Resplendent Alpha. The selection was only narrowly beaten at Southwell last time he finished second to Xpres Maite. He proved that this trip was within his grasp that day and he looks capable of taking his chance. Chjimes does boast course and distance winning form , in fact he has won here five times so he is something of a course specialist. He beat Whiskey Creek over 5f last time but he is just as effective over this trip and he should run our selection close. Resplendent Alpha disappointed last time and he looks as though the handicapper may now have his measure. Grand Palace is from a yard in good form and he can't be discounted, but in a tight contest we will give the narrow vote to Wotashirtful.
