Verdict
JUMIRA BRIDGE is impossible to oppose in this opener, though won’t be much of a price. Rated 88, Roger Varian’s colt was second twice at Yarmouth last summer before running well in a valuable sales race at Doncaster in September - he looks a cut above today’s rivals. Bought from Godolphin, Secret Strategy did only find one too good on his debut at Wolverhampton so looks the one for forecast-backers as Lambrini Legacy looks nothing special on breeding and the remainder having shown little so far.
