Verdict

Ultra competitive and many can be given a chance. Gumball will try and take them from start to finish but any rain is against him, and he may set it up for a finisher. Lisp likes it here and despite top weight, he is worthy of it, and he should be in the frame at worst. Jolly's Cracked It might well be best caught fresh and a good effort from him would not surprise, and Red Force One looks a potential improver for top connections. It'll be a surprise if we've seen the best of Adjali too, but at a much bigger price JACAMAR makes some each-way appeal. This is his toughest task to date, but the quicker they go the better his chance late.
  1. Jacamar
  2. Lisp
  3. Jolly's Cracked It
