Judge 'n Jury won this on good ground a year ago when stablemate Secret Witness was beaten a neck with Magical Macey just behind in third. Bedloe's Island was only just over a length back in 6th with HAZELRIGG, Ancient Cross and Fitz Flyer further in arrears. The recent rain will aid the winner but Bedloe's Island would have preferred quicker going, though arrives in top form having beaten a big field at Thirsk. Tim Easterby's charge earns the vote having subsequently been beaten a short-head by Judge 'n Jury then beating Secret Witness a head, both over the course and distance and now better off at the weights with both. Mister Manannan bounced back to winning form at Beverley and failed to obtain a clear run at Chester so he's on the short-list as is Dinkum Diamond, who is generally found in slightly higher grade. Jamaican Bolt is suited by plenty of give though was behind the selection here in July and the lightly-raced Cheworee has gone up 4lb for landing a Class 4 handicap at Windsor.
