Verdict

Commentary, Jaad and Coalpark are the three who are shortlisted for this competitive nursery and preference is for Commentary, who was unlucky in running last time. Mark Johnston saddles two, both winners on their debut and unraced since. Carlisle winner Jaad was unfancied but stayed on well at that stiff track to win in taking fashion. He may find the ground not so much to his liking today however as it was fast on that occasion. Coalpark sprang an even bigger surprise when he won at Redcar, leading all the way. The runner-up though was a beaten favourite at a short price at Newcastle this week and the form may not be that strong. Commentary though receives weight from that pair and may be well handicapped. Shane Kelly appeared to give him too much to do at Catterick last time and he was flying at the finish, coming home an unlucky runner-up. He had earlier scored in fine style at Folkestone and with Johnny Murtagh booked a good run is expected.
