Verdict
Red Hot Chilly has been knocking on the door on Polytrack but two runs on Turf last year left a lot to be desired. Kempton winner Sixties Groove may have found the ground too soft at Windsor subsequently and could be worth another chance but it's about time JINTSHI was getting his head back in front where it matters. Mark Johnston's colt, now visored, was only beaten a neck at Beverley last Saturday and should reverse earlier Bath running with Pack It In on this better going. Brave Archibald is consistent and preferred to Panko of the remainder.
