Verdict
Inn The Bull went backwards on the Flat after winning over 7f at Goodwood as a two-year-old and may have stamina issues. Rockcliffe won over 1m2f but ended up in sellers so we'll stick with those with experience. Hazamar was beaten less than a length by newcomer Fool To Cry here just over two weeks ago but JAZZY may appreciate this easier task after running in a handicap at Worcester last time – he can defy his penalty.
