Verdict
JUARLA scored on the Turf for the first time at Bath last Thursday and this looks less competitive despite a 6lb penalty. Valdaw went close over 7f here on his penultimate start and Roundelay finished runner-up at Yarmouth last time when starting favourite. Botanist was placed a couple of times before his latest poor effort and Fonterutoli has the past form to figure but the rest have no worthwhile efforts to their name worth a mention in a really poor handicap.
