Verdict

SLIPPIN JIMMY finished in front of Vortigan when runner-up at Haydock and can get his head in front if settling better today. Nightout placed at Wetherby before struggling on slow ground over a longer trip while Highfield Viking’s earlier win at Doncaster came on the soft. Fortuitous Star returns to 7f with a shout while Climate Change may improve further racing on turf for the first time.
