In depth
Verdict
AXEL JACKLIN has the best piece of recent form when only beaten a head over 7f here in one of these events - he gets a token vote to go one better. Indian Affair placed at Chelmsford a week ago and may figure while Knockabout Queen finished third at Lingfield back in November. Seeking Perfection has tumbled down the handicap and gets a change of headgear.
