In depth
Verdict
Another Jameson can finally come good at the expense of Uneven Line, Stagecoach Opal and Kempski. A very open start to proceedings can hopefully see Another Jameson put matters right after finding one too good on no less than three of her five outings this season. Malcolm Jefferson's six-year-old mare was only beaten half-a-length at Leicester last time and will have no problems staying this trip. She remains well treated at present, and is a sporting selection. Uneven Line won over fences at Hexham 18-days ago and as that was her first outing since June she should come on for the run, so is another to consider along with Stagecoach Opal who although shouldering topweight, hails from an in-form stable. Kempski is without a win in 23 starts but ran a blinder over the course-and-distance just over a fortnight ago. While respecting his claims, we return to Another Jameson as the answer.
