In depth
Verdict
Nothing to go on here but breeding so the market is best watched. MUMBO JUMBO is a half-brother to two winning hurdlers and should just about have enough pace for this though Black Jerry is by Celtic Swing out of a 7f winner and is one to keep an eye on. Slow Train Coming will be fancied due to connections, though his pedigree is all about stamina, but Work Book is the first foal of a mare who scored over a mile.
