    Verdict

    Thecornishbarron has little chance on these terms while Barwick boasts the highest handicap rating but last year’s wins came in Jersey and Belgium. Monsieur Jimmy has done all his winning at Southwell so far and First Flight hasn’t won anywhere since 2014 so the vote goes to THA’IR. He has a bit to find at the weights but landed a course and distance double in March and returns to this venue for the first time since.
