In depth
Verdict
This looks a good opportuinty for Jockeski to follow up on his Yarmouth victory with both Victory Mile and Snake Hips both worth noting in the betting. The selection had been running with credit without troubling the judge before scoring in a modest contest at Yarmouth earlier in the month. He was sent of favourite that day and performed well in claiming company and even though this looks a tougher contest with confidence on his side he can complete a double. Victory Mile drops in grade for the first time after running moderatly in maidens and handicaps. Brian Meehan has his team in good order at present so any market moves should be noted. Snakes Hips comes from a yard in form but has only shown a hint of ability in the past so is one to treat with caution. So for the winner we return to Jockeski
