Verdict

Plenty of improvers here, not least ANNUAL INVICTUS, who has progressed well in recent months and can complete the hat-trick under a double penalty with the promise of even better to come up in trip. Dorking Lad looks the chief threat on paper provided this doesn't come too soon just 4 days on from his Market Rasen second, ahead of Itsnotwhatyouthink.
