In depth
Verdict
This wouldn't be the most competitive of sellers. Brooke Bounty has claims despite a modest effort when favourite at Musselburgh last month. Idyllic Star has a long absence to overcome while It's Only Business have never won on Turf on the Flat but The Blue Banana won a Catterick handicap over 7f in September and is appearing in this grade for the first time. KIMBALI was slowly away and never figured in a Class 4 event at Nottingham last time but has form on soft ground and a repeat of his second at Beverley in September would probably suffice.
