Verdict
Nakadam is 6lb lower than when landing this 12 months ago but he’s not pulled up any trees since and was a long way behind track specialist Prince Dundee here in May. The latter is edging towards a decent mark again while For Jim has been in terrific form having won five of his last nine starts. He beat Classical Milano, Real Armani and Buddha Scheme here last time but has gone up another 5lb since. EXOD’ELA made mistakes on his fencing bow at Worcester but will know more today and can confirm that form with Wigglesworth and beat more exposed rivals.
