Verdict
Wentworth Falls wasn’t winning out of turn at Doncaster while George Bowen was more like his old self at Pontefract. Jonah Jones is another to have rediscovered his best form since joining Ed Walker’s team while Golden Apollo has a good record here and is the pick of the Easterby trio. Soldier's Minute was in cracking form on the all-weather in the autumn but never figured on his reappearance in the Wokingham. CAMACHO CHIEF has probably shown his best form over 5f so far but this an easy 6f and Michael Dods’ impressive Doncaster winner is worth sticking with. Muscika and Gunmetal could reward each-way support if in the mood.
