Verdict
Scale Force faced a tougher task last time when bidding for a hat-trick but still has something to prove over this far. He was beaten by the consistent QAARAAT over the minimum trip here in January and the latter has scored over today’s distance in the past so gets the nod to confirm superiority. Young John remains 6lb higher than when last successful on the Fibresand and Red Jasper has done all his winning over further while Marvel returns to action having placed in maiden company here.
