Verdict
Top-weight Londoner can defy his penalty at the expense of Jamestown and Bojangles. Simon Dow's charge is not the same horse that once hailed from Warren Place but as a dual purpose horse, he should be capable of carrying 10st 6lb without too many issues. In a modest race, he is at least in form and capable off this mark. Jamestown produced a fair effort last time out despite his saddle slipping - he is plenty exposed for our liking though. Bojangles showed plenty of early speed on his last racecourse start but was only guilty of getting bogged down in heavy ground. Conditions are much better tonight. Shamwari Fire ran a fair race at Beverley over seven furlongs and is decently drawn tonight. Dubonai is sure to be popular with the champion jockey aboard but is plenty exposed at this level. Madame Marie looks second choice of the Dow string. Londoner looks to have all the right ticks in the boxes and is duly selected to stage a quick follow-up .
