A desperate affair in which JAZZ THYME is likely to be a short price, even though she’s 0-15. Bob Stephens’ mare has shown some improvement lately, which is more than you can say about most of the others. Back In Black showed very little in Ireland but Bitter Virtue won here in May, though is still 8lb higher. Mr Mafia has become expensive to follow but is probably best of the rest ahead of The Lion Man.
