Jumby has placed in both the Wokingham here and the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket and connections will hope that first-time cheekpieces and a change of rider can find the necessary improvement as he faces against old foes Bless Him and Ropey Guest. Fresh was sent off as favourite for the Wokingham but a low draw did not help matters on that occasion and while stall 12 isn’t ideal today, the engine is at least there. Dark Shift has gone up 6lb for winning the Royal Hunt Cup here but that race is held over a furlong extra. CHIEFOFCHIEFS caught the eye in the Buckingham Palace Stakes over track and trip where he had Tactical in behind and if the gaps appear for the nine-year-old, he may surprise at the likely odds of reward.
