Verdict

AARDIE'S IDEAL (6) made an encouraging start to his career when a close third at Addington. Draws wider but with natural improvement likely he has strong claims. CAPITAL JAY (3) resumes from a spell of nine months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid third at Ascot Park. Likely to get the favours from this nice draw so look for a good return. JACKSON (4) is a three-year-old gelding by Lather Up on debut for the Chelsea Faithful stable. Has shown some ability at the trials so look for a good showing. CHARLOTTE BADGER (1) gets the ace draw for her return. Keep her safe.
