Verdict

This is a competitive-looking handicap as though Newbury winner High Admiral is the least exposed he's not certain to appreciate this further step up in trip on breeding. Wolverhampton scorer Golden Jubilee may be worth opposing back on Turf and Felix Fabulla steps up a grade but Swift Cedar, Magical Thomas and Jacob Cats would all have a squeak on their best form. TWO JABS gets a tentative vote given he was only beaten a length-and-a-half over course and distance 12 days ago and has been eased a pound since.
