Verdict
Nelson Gay wasn’t disgraced when sixth in the Super Sprint at Newbury, though finished less than a length in front of CIRRUS. The latter lost ground when hampered early in that race and is fancied to turn the tables today granted normal luck in-running. Charlie's Jamboree finished in front of Imperial Fora when winning a handicap at Chepstow and went close again in a tight finish at Leicester last time while Temple Bruer returned a losing favourite on his handicap bow and Salsoul drops in class.
