Verdict

The winner of this off today's mark in 2012 and 2014, TAAJUB is back for more. He arrives in good form having beaten Burning Thread a couple of lengths here a fortnight ago and Peter Crate's charge should make another bold bid. The latter finished just behind third-placed Sandfrankskipsgo at Kempton earlier while Doctor Parkes won over 6f at the latter track recently and is only upped 3lb. Showtime Star has done all his winning over 6f so far but Come On Dave is best over this minimum trip and has also returned to a winning mark.
