Verdict

Charming Kid made all at Wolverhampton last time though prevailed by only a nose and SENECA CHIEF is preferred. The latter won at Sandown before beaten a length in a higher grade sprint at Pontefract and gets another chance. Hyde Park Barracks finished ahead True Hero when runner-up at Wolverhampton last time and the latter had beaten previous winner Lucky Ava when scoring over track and trip. Sir Rodneyredblood is another that won his penultimate start but this is tougher.
