      Verdict

      Executive Force carries a penalty having completed a double over a mile at Newcastle but has yet to race over this longer distance. Juanito Chico is another stepping up in trip but both Bollihope and Baasha won their penultimate starts over 1m2f with the latter scoring over track and trip, though this is tougher. GAS MONKEY has placed over this far on Turf and returned to action with a narrow-margin defeat over a mile at Kempton. First-time headgear may bring further progress and a chance is taken on Julia Feilden’s charge.
