Verdict

This will take little winning but it is hard to be confident about any of these. Golden Jeffrey is interesting on his handicap debut over a more adequate trip and a market move would be significant in this grade. In Focus improved in a first time hood on his yard debut last week. It is a couple of years since his last success though and it remains to be seen if the aids have a similar effect. JONNY DELTA looks a more reliable proposition for a yard that do well here. He is yet to win over this far on the Flat but this would be the easiest task he has faced at this distance and he is taken to follow up last month's win.
