    Verdict

    Baronial Pride finished closer over 7f here recently while Boma Green went close over today’s trip at Kempton earlier and gets a change of headgear. But JEWEL MAKER scored twice over course and distance last month and having ran well again in a higher grade here last time, Tim Easterby’s charge gets another chance. Traveller also has a shout dropping back down in class but Pholas and Curfewed face more difficult tasks than when placed here recently while Velma’s earlier success at the track came in novice company.
