Verdict

How Bizarre ended last season with a course and distance success but finished last at Wolverhampton on his reappearance. JACOB BLACK ran much better on his comeback when placed over a longer trip here having won three times at the track last year. Another bold bid looks likely today and he’s preferred to Kupa River. The latter completed a double with a victory at Leicester last month and makes a quick reappearance after placing at Wetherby last week while Star Shield may finish closer today having only his second start in a handicap. Our Charlie Brown failed to win last year but slips further down the weights as does Inviolable Spirit.
