Verdict

Lucky Jim finished a couple of lengths ahead of VALSEUR DU GRANVAL at Kempton last time and is only a pound worse off. But Tom George's charge would probably have justified favouritism that day but for a couple of appalling jumping errors and can take his revenge here with a clear round. Denali Highway is an interesting runner as he's thrown in on his best form and Caroline Bailey's chasers are also worth a market check here. Town Mouse and Drumlang have their sights lowered and Queen Spud is getting closer but Strongly Suggested and Pinerolo remain out of sorts.
