In depth
Verdict
Jimmy Bell won at Hereford in the autumn but is having a first run since January. JIMMI CHEW has an even longer absence to overcome but he was last seen finishing a close second at Ludlow in November behind a horse that’s won twice since and is now rated 31lb higher. This is a race which lacks in any strength in depth with Scaramucci, who is 0-16, possibly the pick of the remainder.
