Verdict

JUGE ET PARTI is more amenable nowadays and he ran well off this mark here four weeks ago when returning from a break. He holds Who's In The Box on that effort. Downtown Getaway has only run once over fences so far so has scope while Court Dreaming boasts a first and a second from two previous runs over track and trip. Morning Spirit was still in touch when falling at Aintree and still has time on his side if that hasn’t affected confidence.
