held up, ridden and headway over 2f out, stayed on to take 2nd well inside final furlong, no chance with winner
slowly away, always behind
made all, ridden clear 2f out, eased towards finish
chased winner, ridden over 2f out, no extra inside last
chased leaders, ridden over 2f out, weakened over 1f out
behind, ridden over 3f out, kept on final 2f, never dangerous
Sir Jasper takes a step up in class after a game victory in a seller and will make a bold bid to follow up, but we feel this could rest between Turf Princess and Tictactoe, with the latter just edging the decision. This three-year-old filly is still on the upgrade and stayed on strongly to beat some consistent claiming types last time and although she failed to stay a mile on her previous outing there should be no problems with today¿s trip.. Turf Princess just got up to beat Ever Cheerful at Wolverhampton last time in a weak contest, she is probably better suited by today¿s surface and is certain to be there at the finish. Sir Jasper beat Wings Of Morning over course and distance and has to be given plenty of respect in this better company. Bryan Meehan landed this prize twelve months ago so his runner Jasmine Pearl also merits a mention but we are hoping for more progression from Tictactoe and this one gets the verdict.
