Verdict
Jawhary drops into a seller for the first time and has to go on the short-list representing a powerful yard. Commerce was third in this grade at Ludlow two runs ago and is another to consider but Nicky Nutjob is flattered by recent form figures and still 6lb higher than when successful at Hereford last summer. The four-year-old Revaader doesn't appear to be improving so we'll give another chance to WICKLEWOOD, who was well backed when second at Stratford last month and has been found an even weaker contest here.
