FLAWLESS JEWEL is impossible to oppose in this opener given improvement on a highly promising neck defeat at York earlier this month is almost guaranteed. Murqaab has already have five runs and hasn’t really progressed from a narrow defeat at Doncaster on his second outing. Justice Shallow was tailed off at Chester and Pinkie Pie was a relatively cheap purchase who may need further.
