Jubilympics is race-fit and is better off at the weights than when third behind Molly Carew at Haydock in the spring. Dame Du Soir would have each-way claims on the pick of her form and Methodtothemadness has been more consistent lately but Vienna Court has become expensive to follow. TIMELESS BEAUTY (NAP) looked one to follow when landing the odds at Lingfield on her chasing bow and first run for Fergal O’Brien and she’s narrowly preferred to Fontaine Collonges and Precious Eleanor, who finished 1-2 at Warwick. Rose Of Arcadia is tackling fences for the first time but has won a point, a bumper and a hurdle so is clearly versatile.
