Verdict

Karaka Jack hasn't won since May of last year but has been running well enough to consider as he's lower in the ratings for this. Hanalei Bay has won three of his last five including on this track last month. He looked progressive at Hamilton last time so looks certain to get into the action. INGLEBY SYMPHONY won over this course and distance in October and could hardly have been more impressive over an extra two furlongs here on Saturday. He's only 3lb higher and George Chaloner's claim takes care of that so he's taken to complete a quick double. Dark Crystal won twice here last month and didn't get the clearest of runs behind Clumber Place on Saturday while the front-running Alpine Storm faded over 1m2f at Nottingham and will be better suited dropping to this trip.
