Verdict

Little Indian won here last month then just failed to catch Putin after a 2lb rise in the weights a few days later. He's up the same amount here but it will be a surprise if he's not there at the business end. Jamaica Grande won three times in 2013 and was narrowly beaten in two starts early last year. But they were over 1m4f and he has a very long absence to overcome. Barwah has won twice at Kempton and had a couple of months off before failing to make an impact at Wolverhampton in March. She should be ready for this and has enough scope to score again from this sort of mark soon but may have to give best to the veteran JUST FIVE. He's in excellent form having twice finished close up before scoring at Wolverhampton. He's up 4lb but his young rider's claim easily takes care of that and he can gain the 13th victory of his career.
