Verdict

Jack Sparowe won at Kempton with Masqool back in third while Mambo Beat won a lower grade contest at Ffos Las back in July. A prolific winner at this track, Blue Hero would prefer faster going, but it was soft underfoot when MISS DOLLY ROCKER scored at Nottingham earlier. Placed in a tougher race at Chepstow subsequently, she can return to winning ways. Orange Martini and Showy are others with a shout.
