Verdict

A 9lb rise looked harsh for Jazz Master's earlier victory over track and trip and so it proved when he found one too good here last time. He's up another 3lb for this and GLORIOUS PROTECTOR is preferred. The latter finished a promising third on his handicap bow over track and trip and there should be more to come from Ed Walker's colt. Lingfield winner Miss Majurie steps up a grade off a 7lb higher mark and Ffos Las second Rosaceous is preferred, though both Troopingthecolour and Fresa have claims if fully primed for their belated seasonal debuts.
