In depth
Verdict
Paxford Jack gets the verdict ahead of Time To Reflect and Jimmy Tennis. The ground looks likely to play a part in this affair and Paxford Jack has few problems on that score. He stayed on dourly to chase home Our Jolly Swagman a couple of days ago and the champion has been booked this afternoon. Time To Reflect has scored prolifically in the past. His better form is undeniably with cut in the ground and he might not get any of that here. Jimmy Tennis once looked as if he might make up into a decent horse and is a light of his former self nowadays. Prince Highlight has not run well for some time and is avoided at present. Strong Magic has bits and pieces of form and he rates best of the rest. Paxford Jack has the most ticks in the boxes and we shall side with him on this occasion.
