Verdict

WONDER shaped well on his return from a four-month absence when sixth at Kempton and can race off a 2 lb lower mark here so this course winner earns the vote. Gifted Angel rates a big threat though if building on his Chelmsford City second after a year off, while Freddy Robinson and Jindri both command plenty of respect too in this competitive handicap.
