JUMBLY has ran in the French and German 1,000 Guineas and though success has evaded her in those affairs, she showed in the Fred Darling Stakes at Newbury that she is of serious ability. Zanbaq was an unfortunate loser in the Sandringham here though the form took a knock when the winner was subsequently turned over in Listed company at Sandown. Kind Gesture steps up in class following convincing victories at Wetherby and Windsor while the German filly Novemba tried to make all in the Duke Of Cambridge last time though had finished a solid fourth in the Coronation Stakes here a year earlier albeit on much softer going.
