Race preview
Chindit hit the woodwork in the Lockinge before going on to finish a creditable sixth in the Queen Anne. Those efforts set a clear form standard, but he was a well-held eighth in this last year and the winner JUMBY is preferred. The son of New Bay warmed up for his title defence with a good second in the Criterion at Newmarket (Pogo just behind in third), and this has likely been the target all along. The latter also merits respect, along with Marbaan, who arrives on the back of a solid third in the Lennox.
