Verdict

One of the top 7f races in the calendar in Britain and last year's winner JUMBY looks to have serious claims of repeating that feat having been freshened up since his runner-up effort in the Criterion at Newmarket. Eve Johnson Houghton is enjoying plenty of success this month and her 5-y-o can get the better of Chindit, who is most probably having his last race before embarking on a career at stud in India. Possible front-runner Pogo and Marbaan can do battle for third spot.
