Verdict

Foxtrot Jubilee's form has tailed off since completing a hat-trick on his first three starts and his latest effort, when last of 10 at Haydock, means the jury is out now. Gift Of Love also failed to beat a rival home last time and Ziggy's Secret is likely to need this first outing since last August while the handicapper seems to have Clement where he wants him. To confuse matters further, Roland has won twice and finished last twice in four of his last five starts so which version of the Ryan charge turns up today is hard to predict. He's also upped in grade which leaves us with RED EXPLORER. A consistent juvenile, he'll be all the better for a fair reappearance in what looked a useful Kempton handicap and can progress again.
