AFRICAN JAZZ has been raised 7lb for winning at Kempton but he scored by seven lengths on his first start over 2m and there looks plenty more to come from Charlie Appleby’s charge over today’s trip. Darksideoftarnside is upped in distance after winning over 1m5f at Ayr and has more scope than the likes of Ravenous and What A Welcome, who also face a greater test of stamina today. Arab Moon just got the better of Percy's Word over 2m at Kempton last month while Alfredo ran well at Ffos Las on his first start since 2016 though this is a more difficult task.
