In depth
Verdict
A couple of these bid for a hat-trick including Jamacho, who landed a double at Stratford last month and is 7lb higher. Collodi has had an outing on the Flat since beating Lleyton at Market Rasen and has been raised 8lb while Perfect City returned a disappointing favourite last time having earlier won at Uttoxeter. Calvinist went close over a longer trip at Uttoxeter recently but PURPLE KING has slid down the weights since landing a novice hurdle last summer and after finishing runner-up over 2m at Perth with the rest nowhere, he gets the vote to return to winning ways.
