Jubilympics finished ahead of Huntress when second on Polytrack at Lingfield in January and she’d run well on Turf at Hereford earlier to suggest she’ll be a leading player in this. But slight preference is for MAJOR DAVIS if he can reproduce the form of his third at Southwell in January - he was probably taking on better opposition next time at Warwick. Paddy's Poem is a possible improver and so is Miss Malarky but Russian Approval has already been exposed as modest.
