Verdict
Jungle Lion, Red Delirium and Red Moor are three against the field in another tough handicap to call and the vote goes to Jungle Lion. The selection won well last time when defeating Isa' Af and he has conditions again in his favour. Although he is rising in the weights he will be hard to beat. Red Delirium rates the main danger as he was a good second behind Our Imperial Bay but that was in a seller and this looks more competitive, although he should gain his revenge on that rival at these weights.. Red Moor is also worthy of respect on his second behind Broughton Knows and the step up to this trip should also suit. Of the remainder Spanish Star is from a yard in form and has dropped to a handy mark so is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Jungle Lion.
