Verdict

Rear Admiral beat RETURN FLIGHT and Nefyn Bay over course and distance last month but the 12-year-old has never won off a mark this high and Rebecca Menzies’ bottom weight is fancied to come out on top today on 3lb better terms. Brave Spartacus rarely runs two races alike nowadays and Jovial Joey has become disappointing but Workbench hinted at a revival at Uttoxeter. King's Wharf has a lot to prove at present.
