Verdict
LORD NAVITS found 2m too short at Catterick last time having won easily over this trip at Taunton previously but he still finished ahead of Ministerofinterior. The drying ground is a bit of a worry but he should get back to winning ways with Jake Hodson's claim in his favour again. The first-time blinkers would need to work well to inspire Jazz Man to start putting his best foot forward again but Descaro should be thereabouts if fully wound up. He likes sharp tracks and should guarantee a strong gallop. Mickelson will surely need this.
