Verdict

Jumira Bridge won at Wolverhampton earlier in the week and is penalised while Anificas Beauty won over 7f here last month and is 6lb higher. COMPANY MINX prevailed by only a neck when returning a surprise winner at Kempton last time but that was in a higher grade contest than this and John Jenkins’ charge should go close again. Araifjan is back up in distance while both Almodovar Del Rio and Epic Express drop back down in trip and Forca Brasil missed an engagement at Brighton yesterday.
