Verdict

JIMMY THE DIGGER has shown improved form this season and could still have more to offer at staying trips, so he is taken to resume his progress and gain a second course win. The 10-y-o can see off the challenge of the consistent Captain Cattistock, with Lord du Mesnil completing the shortlist.

  1. JIMMY THE DIGGER
  2. CAPTAIN CATTISTOCK
  3. LORD DU MESNIL (FR)
