Verdict

Jimi Hendrix and Windseeker won over today’s trip back in October. Both beat subsequent winners and are penalised on their return to action. Bling On The Music is another making a reappearance but Flag High posted a better effort at Chelmsford recently with a hood fitted and the headgear remains in place. Zainalarab is related to a couple of winners but fellow newcomer CABINET OF CLOWNS is a half-brother to the smart sprinter Chocoya among others and gets a speculative vote.
