Verdict
The Groove and The Establishment represent last year’s winning yard and Gina Mangan partnered the former when going close at Salisbury recently. Trotter has been in the mix at Windsor lately but this is tougher and he’s only won a seller so far while Who Told Jo Jo also faces a tougher task raised 4lb and upped in class after scoring at Brighton. Champagne Bob looks better over 7f nowadays but FIELD OF VISION is better off at the weights with Major Valentine for a narrow-margin defeat over course and distance in August and is taken to reverse running with a recent pipe-opener at Salisbury under his belt.
