Verdict
Though never looking like winning, JUSTINEO ran on strongly for fourth over the 6f of the Gimcrack at York last time. With improvement expected stretching out an extra furlong, William Haggas' colt gets the nod. Nayarra's fourth in the Prestige Stakes here was a big improvement on her earlier form and it remains to be seen if she can reproduce it today, while Red Aggressor didn't have to be at his best to land the odds at Wolverhampton last time and is better judged on his earlier six-length defeat in the Coventry. Bronterre made an impressive winning debut at Salisbury and is preferred to stablemate Sixx, but the tough and consistent Chester winner My Lucky Liz looks to have a bit to find in this company.
