Verdict
This looks an above-average maiden for the track as there are possibilities about the progressive Bali Body upped in trip. Kilbrook placed over 3m between the flags and was going well over hurdles prior to running a shocker in a handicap at Wetherby on Boxing Day. Placed twice already, Jetaway Joey is one of only three booked rides on the card for Aidan Coleman and has had wind surgery since last seen but the vote goes to SLIPWAY (NAP). The winner failed to boost the form of his second here last month earlier this week but Ben Pauling’s charge finished clear of the remainder that day and is only now coming to hand.
