Forecasts

Verdict

A decisive winner of this in 2019, VINNDICATION is taken to maintain his 100% record here. Kim Bailey's charge is 7 lb higher this time round, but he's still on a fair mark judged on his reappearance second in the Charlie Hall last term and his record when fresh augurs well. Johnbb is unexposed as a stayer and may emerge as the main danger ahead of Jerrysback and last year's winner Regal Encore.
