      Verdict

      Jimmy The Digger did win a bumper on soft going here but all of his chase runs have been on good ground, though this is possibly his best trip. But JAVA POINT took a big step forward when second at Doncaster and will handle conditions so gets the nod. Isolate won on soft ground over hurdles but weakened quickly once headed last time while Une De La Seniere was disappointing on her chase bow at Southwell considering she’d been going well over timber earlier. The lightly-raced Wildfire Warrior should make a chaser and has won around here over the smaller obstacles.
