led until over 1f out, no extra final furlong
JAMAIS ASSEZ coped with the soft ground over course and distance earlier in the month when finishing a close-up third. The form looks solid enough with the runner-up subsequently winning and Karl Burke’s colt gets the vote to open his account in this company. Jerbourg finished well behind the selection last time while it was fast going when Gifted Ruler made a modest debut here last month and Jems Bond looks up against it.
