      Verdict

      Jkr Cobbler has been in fine form over 7f here and rattled-up a hat-trick with his latest success. But he has something to prove over this longer trip and HOSTELRY is preferred. Ruth Carr’s mare went close at Nottingham a week ago and scored over track and trip back in May. Retirement Beckons beat Turbo Command in a classified race here but Fifty Sent makes more appeal on earlier placed efforts.
