In depth

Verdict

A chance is taken with Doctor Dennis, who may have the most to fear from Shadow Jumper and old rival Zorn. The last named made the most of the opportunity at the weights when he beat the selection here a fortnight ago and has to be respected as a danger again. However, he is 3lb worse off today and needs everything to drop just right for him. Shadow Jumper is also in good heart and is weighted to reverse placings with the penalised Winning Pleasure on this occasion. Both are entitled to be in there with a shout near the finish and can do their bit to make this a competitive sprint. However, slender preference is given to Doctor Dennis, who has returned to form of late and he rates as the best value option in what looks a tight one to call.
