In depth
Verdict
JAMMY GUEST has been thereabouts of late and was beaten only a head over 7f at Wolverhampton during the week. He may prove good enough in this while the veteran Time Medicean also has a shout off his current mark though he hasn't raced since October. Ask The Guru has done all his winning so far over the minimum trip and Bush Warrior's only success to date came off a 6lb lower mark. Wahaab continues to plummet down the weights but remains badly out of form.
