Verdict
LIVELY CITIZEN never threatened on his reappearance at Aintree but has his sights lowered here and may dominate this small field. Dr T J Eckleburg has improved recently but Earth King didn’t shown much at Kempton and may find this too sharp. Keep Running may need more time but Doyouknowwhatimean probably has a future in chases. Jolly Nellerie has been disappointing since arriving from France, however, and Irish raider Steppenwolf also has a bit to prove nowadays.
