Verdict
Giovanni Di Bicci complicates matters as he had every chance in an apprentices' contest at Chelmsford yesterday and would escape a further penalty in this if successful. But JUMBO PRADO also has strong claims having gone close in a couple of subsequent starts here since scoring over track and trip in October. The latter gets the nod with the remainder hard to fancy given that Tatawu showed noting on his return from a lengthy lay-off while Shamlan and Toymaker continue to struggle.
