Verdict
Those with experience have looked distinctly modest so far with Tesoro making most appeal of them on her third at Chelmsford ahead of Zebedee's Girl. Miss Phillyjinks was placed at Dundlak earlier in the year but a newcomer may prove good enough to land this. Private Donald and Autre Princess should be noted but SHARP JACK is a speedily-bred half-brother to five winners including the smart sprinter Best Terms and Tom Dascombe's colt gets the nod to make a winning start.
