In depth
Verdict
Only just denied at Nottingham, Southampton Joe can make a bold bid to make ammends. He runs off the same mark here and looks sure to take the beating. Bakewell Tart has more to do than when winning on the All-Weather, but Spinning Jenni, claimed out of a seller by present connection's looks to be on the upgrade. Cayman Venture and Good Loser are others to consider.
