Verdict

Another tough contest to call here for punters but the principals look to be Jupon Vert, Just Muckin Around and Adradee and we will take a chance on Jupon Vert. The gelding from the Ron Hodges yard won in the style of an improver when defeating Damus last time out and although he has risen in the weights he will be hard to beat with conditions again in his favour. Just Muckin Around is also worthy of respect he also won well last time out when defeating L'Etang Bleu but that was on heavy ground and for that reason he is opposed. Adradee was third behind Robyn Alexander last time but this looks more competitive and she will need to improve to score. Of the remainder Power Unit is a course and distance winner but he has had problems with his jumping of late so we are happy to stick with Jupon Vert
