7/4 |
Jabbar
Seven wins under all codes and returned from a short break in fine fettle to beat Jerandme by six-and-a-half lengths; 5lb rise for that gives him a fair chance of following up with an excellent 5lb claimer on board.

Persian Bliss
Two wins here, a 1m2f maiden in October and when making most to win a 1m4f handicap last week; previous try over this trip though was far from convincing; might have a chance if he can be held up effectively.

Jerandme
Remarkable record having won a bumper, over hurdles and fences and on the Flat (including twice over C&D); fair effort although had no chance with Jabbar here last time; unlikely to turn the tables.

Pavilion End
Showed some ability in bumpers before getting up on the line to win a very ordinary 1m4f maiden here last month; will likely appreciate stepping up in trip but a mark of 80 would not appear overly generous.

Ted Hastings
Four-time winner over hurdles and winner on the Flat; lightly raced last year and not seen since fourth in a 2m handicap at York last July; best watched on his debut on this surface.

Pearl Jewel
Gained a well-deserved maiden win over 1m4f here in November; further progress feasible although untested over this trip.
