Connections of Jajamcool will be hoping that Sunshine Corner can give a boost to their charge's second at Plumpton last month earlier on the card. Caroline Keevil's gelding need only continue his progress to be competitive in what looks an ordinary finale as his form looks stronger than that of long-standing maiden One Style and the equally-exposed Chief Brody and Rushvale. LE BOIZELO may be a different matter, however, as he probably needed his first start for Robert Walford at Chepstow and did win at Clairefontaine as recently as August.
