      Verdict

      The progressive WHERE’S JEFF went close at Hamilton last time with Regal Mirage back in third. This looks less competitive and he can confirm superiority with the latter and go in again. Cote d'Azur has a shout on a recent third at York while Happy seemingly failed to stay 1m4f at the same track having been narrowly beaten over today’s trip at Beverley before that. Billy Roberts is upped in class but is still preferred to Kentuckyconnection of the rest.
