Two wins in 27 starts doesn't bode well for Jamaica Grande, a winner over 1m2f here back in September. But that's still two more than Princess Willow has managed as she remains winless in 22 outings. EL LIBERTADOR hasn't won this year but is back on a winning mark and it could be his turn again having gone close under today's apprentice at Lingfield on his penultimate start. He gets the token vote with Jackaddock and Koos perhaps turning out best of the remainder.
