In depth
Verdict
One-time Derby entry Court Of Justice has the most scope for improvement here and just gets the vote in a tricky trace to fathom. He does have a long absence to overcome but the fact that he has been given plenty of time by his trainer suggests that there is a little more to come from the six-year-old. Bobanvi ran well in a seller at Doncaster earlier in the month and is worthy of a second look at in the betting. Fraternize represents the champion trainer but has been well held in low-grade affairs of late and is passed over again today.
