In depth

Verdict

Jupiter Express beat Muscika when scoring over track and trip and the latter had the measure of Sarah's Verse when scoring at Wolverhampton earlier. Em Jay Kay is consistent though remains 6lb higher than when last winning while a couple of these bid for hat-tricks. Hello Zabeel made a winning reappearance at Lingfield and can figure again but SHADES OF SUMMER beat a subsequent winner when successful over track and trip in November and gets the vote on his return.
