Jellmood is rated 90 but was tailed off in Listed company at Newbury when last seen back in June, though can figure if fully recovered. But a chance is taken that IMPERIAL RED improves for today’s shorter trip having faded in the closing stages of his racecourse debut over a mile at Newbury in October. Of the newcomers, Godolphin’s 475,000gns purchase Swiss Knight could go well and Refrain is a half-brother to two winners. Sun Hat and Chingachgook are others to note.
