In depth
Verdict
A wide open contest rounds off the card and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Hello Baby,Another Jameson and Kidithou and the vote is given to Another Jameson. The selection was a fair second behind Rare Society last time out and off the same mark here he looks the value bet in an open affair. Hello Baby rates the main danger on his latest second behind Primitive Poppy but all his best form is on fast ground and he looks opposable on that basis. Kidithou has place claims on his best form but ran as if in the handicappers grip when behind Heartstopper last time. Inn From The Cold looks to be on a handy mark and is worth a cautionary look in the market but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Another Jameson.
