A winner over 1m4f at Salisbury in July, breeding suggests Jelly Fish should stay this longer trip. He's preferred to Bold Runner, beaten only a head over 2m at Lingfield last month but 5lb higher today. Mabdhool's defeat of Norse Light in a Chepstow maiden led to a 13lb rise in the weights and both of them have been well beaten subsequently. Belfilo remains out of form but PAS DE CHEVAL (NAP) makes some appeal stepping up in trip. He's a half-brother to the useful Group 3 winning stayers Patkai and Modun and Sir Michael Stoute's charge gets the nod.
