Cracking the puzzle with Harry Wilson’s picks for all six ITV races on Saturday
The winner defied a 7lb rise on his next start, while the third was an emphatic winner next time out, so a 7lb higher mark may prove lenient here. A 3lb rise looks fair and he should go well in favourable conditions. He travelled every bit as well as Shishkin but was ultimately outstayed by him in the Denman and this intermediate trip should suit.
Won a 6f Listed race on the all-weather in November and could still rate higher. The eight-year-old is unbeaten at the track, landing Grade 1 honours each time, and he got the better of El Fabiolo the only time the pair met away from Cheltenham, a track Jonbon doesn’t shine at. He is just 3lb higher than when winning the Coral Gold Cup, which came on good ground, and is unbeaten in two starts at Sandown.
