Verdict

Teen Ager popped up at this level over course and distance last time but is not certain to confirm running with the placed horses Invincible Beauty and Compton Target who both finished less than a length behind. Media Jury was winning for only the second time in 32 starts when successful at Wolverhampton last week and a penalty may be his undoing so a token vote goes to MICHAEL'S NOOK. The latter never threatened in better company last time but finished third in this grade before that and a similar effort should see him in the mix.
