Verdict

Still well handicapped after chasing home a progressive rival over C&D last month, JACK SPRAT (nap) can get off the mark for James Moffatt at the third attempt. Imperial Rule didn’t really fire over hurdles three weeks ago but his C&D win in May worked out well and he’s feared most. Aill Dubh also has possibilities, while Judicial Review and Kingofthegame both ran big races when placed in the same 3m1f contest here on Saturday.[Chris Wilson]
