Verdict
Gerolamo Cardano has placed on soft going the last twice so has to go on the shortlist. Imperial Joe is also running well and will probably make a bold bid to defy a 6lb rise for winning a novices’ handicap at Exeter but CHECKITSME hasn’t done a lot wrong since the turn of the year and she was staying on over a slightly shorter trip when third at Taunton 11 days ago – Bradley Harris takes off 10lb again. How's The Cricket is likely to need the run so Jaisalmer may prove the pick of the remainder.
