In depth
Verdict
Able Jack and King of Nepal should both be sharper for their respective comeback runs though the latter is 10lb higher than last year’s success at Kempton. Equiano Springs had Deansgate back in fourth when scoring over track and trip last month and is 3lb higher while Gun Case can figure back over his winning trip after a placed effort over a mile here. But BOBBY JOE LEG made a winning racecourse debut with a cosy win over 6f here recently and it could pay to stick with Ruth Carr’s charge now handicapping.
