    Verdict

    GOONJIM may find this on the short side and makes a quick reappearance after finishing third at Stratford on Saturday. But he’d won over 2m4f here on his chasing bow and this looks a weaker contest. Flashman usually find a way of getting beat and Brother Bennett got no further than the second when fancied last time, though may appreciate the quicker going. Alottarain has shown no aptitude for chasing so far while No No Cardinal is still 7lb higher than for his only win so far over fences.
