Verdict

A cracking event for the track where several of the runners can be fancied. Behavingbadly, stays well and finished a solid runner-up last time off a mark of 115, which leaves him a bit to find in this. Forest Gunner, well placed by his handler, likes to force the pace and can reach the frame, while Jungle Jinks, winner of his last two races, is going the right way and must not be underestimated. The Phair Crier is better than he showed last time and Trading Trouble has not been extended in landing two minor events. Both Claymore and Jericho III, will have their supporters, with the latter needing to improve for the step up in trip, but the vote goes to Surprising, who did improve for this trip at Cheltenham.
