In depth

Verdict

Berkshire Boy and Fox Trotter are closely matched on their 1-2 over 7f here on similar ground in June but the former almost refused to race last time and this trip stretches his stamina. JUMIRA PRINCE could have done without a 4lb rise for finishing second at Newcastle last month but won over this trip on soft going at Doncaster at the start of the season and this looks a good opportunity to get back on track. Curragh fourth Gibeno and a back-to-form Woody Bay should run their race again and Redgrave will likely improve on his run at Nottingham in May with conditions a big plus.
