In depth
Verdict
Court Jurado has place claims again with cheekpieces added today but has little in hand on Simon The Great on Stratford running. Giga White can build on a first run over fences at Newton Abbot but Kiruna Peak has yet to show much aptitude for jumping fences. LAKE BAIKAL showed a nice turn of foot to score at Perth and, with likely more to come, can defy a 4lb rise.
