        Verdict

        Hooflepuff won this back in 2020 while Hooves Like Jagger landed last year’s renewal off a similar mark. Trusty Scout’s earlier win came in a classified race here while Johnny Boom is upped in distance but Crystal Guard can figure again having won at Newcastle last time. STARFIGHTER scored over course and distance in December and ran well again in a higher grade contest subsequently - he gets another chance back at this level.
