Verdict

A few with chances in this listed contest but NJORD ended last term on the up with a smart performance to land a big-field Ascot handicap and is fancied to hit the ground running here. Last year's winner Numerian appeals as the one to give Jessica Harrington's progressive 5-y-o most to do, although Broome is another who has the form to play a big part.
