In depth

Verdict

Jet Of Dreams did win a point last year but his latest second at Warwick came over 2m. KING ALEXANDER won a handicap over 2m3f at the same track last month, his first run since wind surgery. Despite a penalty, it will be a surprise if he can’t follow that up back in novice company as Cooleenymore has yet to threaten under Rules.
