In depth
Verdict
Juncea gets the confident vote here with Chingford and Miss Jenny rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Laurentina last time out, that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and under similar conditions here he need only run up to that mark to win with a little in hand. Chingford rates the main danger on his best form but he disappointed for no apparent reason last time out so cannot be put forward with any confidence. Miss Jenny is another that has shown a modicum of ability but has given the impression she would be suited by a longer trip in time. Of the others, Obstructive is from a yard in form and should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Juncea who will be hard to beat.
