In depth

Verdict

Captain Wentworth went close here in November while Pending Appeal attempted to make all on her return from a lay-off. Talamanca placed at Lingfield without threatening the winner while Ignac Lamar drops back down in class and won at Southwell earlier in the year. But the unexposed maiden winner WARMINSTER returns to his winning trip after placing over 7f and it could be his turn again in this.
