Verdict

After 16 previous failures on Turf, JOIN UP has decided he quite likes the surface after all and has won his last two starts in soft ground. Previous wins on Polytrack suggest he won't be inconvenienced by today's faster going and he's taken to land his hat-trick. Kyllachykov is weighted to turn the tables with the selection on latest running but will need to dig a bit deeper to do so while Brown Pete makes a quick reappearance having finished third at Brighton on Tuesday. Putin was beaten five lengths at Southwell on Wednesday so recent Kempton runner-up Chez Vrony makes more appeal.
