In depth

Verdict

Jasmine Joy was a bit disappointing at Leicester after a promising return to action at Doncaster in first-time headgear but she probably has the beating of Princess Anouschka and has decent claims in this. NEPTUNE SEAS also has a bit prove after a modest showing on Town Moor but the drop back in trip may well suit so the Godolphin gelding gets the nod.
