Verdict

Jennys Day found only one too good when well backed over this trip at Wincanton last month and will be fancied to go one better but a case can be made for Great Tempo off the same mark as when third at Chepstow in the spring – he didn’t really take to fences later. This is easily Pique Rock’s toughest task to date and Still Believing has been doing her winning over the larger obstacles. Midnight Glory is looking well treated nowadays, however, and Third Estate arrives in good form. GALACTIC POWER is a dual course and distance winner who should be approaching peak fitness after a couple of runs. He is back on a winning mark and Tabitha Worsley takes off a further 3lb in this.
