Verdict
Who Told Jo Jo has been much better form lately and must have decent claims in a race that is unlikely to live long in the memory. Ghepardo followed up a win at Kempton with a third here 12 days later and also goes on the shortlist. HOLDENHURST won three times last year and makes a quick reappearance after running down the field at Bath last Thursday so he’s preferred to the Chelmsford fourth Good Answer.
