Verdict

APLOMB is fresher than most entering this stage of the season and, having produced two eye-catching efforts since returning from a break last month, he makes plenty of appeal off a good mark and with conditions to suit. Jump The Gun, who was just ahead of Aplomb in this race last year, looks set for another bold show after returning to form at Doncaster where he was just touched off by the re-opposing Rathbone. Iain Jardine's charge is feared most ahead of Gulliver and Wobwobwob.
