        Verdict

        Charlie's Jamboree is the only one to have won though that was over 6f at Chepstow on his handicap debut and he’s 5lb higher today. CIDER APPLE also ran at Chepstow last time when beaten less than a length over today’s trip in a maiden. He’ll improve now handicapping and Oisin Murphy’s presence is another positive. Ryan Moore takes over on Archibar, a decent fifth at Salisbury last time, but the drop down to 6f brought no improvement from In Paradise at Ripon and the latter can do better back over this extra distance. Susucaru and Branston Lion race over 7f for the first time with headgear applied to the former.
