Verdict
Eventful is the only filly in the race and the most exposed while the remaining trio have all been gelded since last in action and step up in trip. Fighting Don showed little progress last term and You Owe Me was well beaten over 1m2f before placing over a mile though his dam won over 1m4f. But JELLYSTONE can also point to winners over 1m4f in his dam’s pedigree and was steadily improving last term before floundering in heavy going. Ralph Beckett’s charge may be the one to side with on his reappearance and gets a tentative vote.
