Verdict
Plenty with a chance here, but WITCHRY may improve on a run of four consecutive thirds. Deserving a change of luck, he's not been beaten far in three of those outings, handles all ground and this is his optimum trip. Young David Kenny is also decent value for his 7lb claim. He looks a prime each-way candidate at least and is just preferred to Emiratesdotcom who showed plenty of pace here latest when just touched off. The latter remains an obvious danger though, having gone well here on his last three outings. Cwmni doesn't win very often as the handicapper always seems to have him spot-on but has claims on this term's efforts and should be in the mix. Bermondsey Bob and Boragh Jamal also catch the eye in an open sprint.
