Verdict
Question marks hang over a few of these but not the four-year-old Jazzy, though both wins so far have been achieved on much quicker surfaces. He is also 9lb higher than when scoring at Taunton in December so is taken on with CHIEFTAIN’S CHOICE, who is thrown in on past form and has been showing signs of a revival lately. Cleni Wells has claims if in the mood and Grand Coureur ran his best race so far last month at Bangor. Magic Dancer was unlucky not to win last season but has an absence to overcome.
