Verdict

A few of these have shown glimpses of promise in their previous races without seriously challenging, so it may pay to side with an improver here and SNOOKER JIM fits the bill. Royston Ffrench's colt wasn't disgraced on debut over this C&D, before improving to outrun a big price at Ascot last time out. He probably would have finished even closer than the two lengths distance from the winner if he had gotten a better start, and he is taken to get off the mark here from a favourable draw. Red Force One has been running well and is another to consider, ahead of Richard Fahey's gelding Delph Crescent.
