Verdict

JET PLANE holds the edge on form and is fancied to make amends for his last-flight fall at Warwick and open his account at the chief expense of Go Sacre Go who should ensure Dan Skelton's 6-y-o doesn't have things all his own way if backing up his good Ascot third. Wrong Shape Ball appeals as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
