Verdict

John Betjeman has placed twice on the Flat since last seen over hurdles. He’s proving a lot more consistent nowadays but KARANNELLE is another almost guaranteed to run her race. She returned from a lay-off to finish a close fourth at Southwell last week and can get her head back in front here if this doesn’t come around too soon. Gavin was bought out of a seller after winning by 16 lengths at Fakenham but Wincanton third Cumhacht still has some scope and makes more appeal than the returning Turpin Gold and Nibras Gold.
