In depth

Verdict

Jebediah Shine beat Royal Birth and Burning Thread when winning at Kempton and is upped a grade for this. Miracle Garden also takes on tougher opposition having landed a hat-trick of Class 6 sprints but Hoofalong went close at Chelmsford in similar company last time having scored at the same track earlier. A couple of these drop down in class with Pensax Lad looking to have every chance on recent form but course and distance winner STOCKING (NAP) may just prevail on the back of a placed effort at Chelmsford and Roger Varian's charge gets the nod.
