Private Jessica can land a weak looking seller at the expense of Diagon Alley, Signed And Dated and Chariot. This is a poor contest to get proceedings under way, and trainer Richard Guest appears to have found a good opportunity for Private Jessica to open her account. The four-year-old has at least been placed on each of her last two starts at Huntingdon and Bangor, those races coming in the space of five days, and as the latest of them was in claiming company, this drop in grade should be well within her capabilities. Diagon Alley shaped with a bit of promise when third in this company at Uttoxeter, and was behind the useful Faasel the time before at Ayr, so looks to be the main danger, while Chariot and Signed And Dated have place claims, the latter in particular. The vote though goes to Private Jessica.
