Verdict
Pharoh Jake went close to finally losing his maiden tag when runner-up over 6f at Kempton last time but has now had 25 starts without a win. Steel City Boy hasn't won this year and doesn't look any closer to doing so on his recent form and the vote goes to BRANDYWELL BOY to follow-up his recent victory at Kempton off a 3lb higher mark. It's difficult to make a serious case for any of the remainder as Mr Hendrix remains out of sorts despite slipping down the weights and Chateau Lola's only win came at Southwell.
