In depth

Verdict

Any number with chances in this but JIMI HENDRIX has given the impression, more than once, that he's going to make a pretty decent three-year-old and the New Bay colt should prove all the better for a solid reappearance run and first try over a mile. Million Thanks is hard to assess on the back of a cosy maiden success but is another who looks to have much more to come, along with the unexposed Chef De Partie who makes his handicap bow off a feasible mark. Blueberry Hill and Thunder Legend cannot be ruled out and Ascending is one to note from the opposite end of the weights.
