Verdict

Jubilympics was a shade disappointing here in January having placed off a higher mark at Kempton earlier, albeit beaten 20 lengths. LUCKOFTHEDRAW hasn’t really fired so far this term but he’s starting to look well treated and the going is beginning to turn in his favour again so Jordan Nailor’s mount gets one final chance to come good. Eaglehill was pulled up on his chasing bow and Fly To Mars also needs more but Leicester winner Waikiki Waves has had a break since running a shocker at Huntingdon.
