Verdict

Zippi Jazzman is given the nod to land this for the Ralph Beckett yard where likely dangers to the selection include Opera Prince, Capone and Magical Speedfit. Zippi Jazzman reverts to what appears his best trip. Just one outing this season, that was in a six furlong event at Great Leighs. A hold-up performer, plenty pace is likely to exist and conditions are ideal. Opera Prince is strangely reverted to the minimum trip after winning over 7 furlongs at Warwick. He did show good speed throughout that contest and is progressing but this looks tougher. Capone scored his first victory at Thirsk but the form has been left down by the second who has been well-beaten since. Magical Speedfit has certainly not be spared by connections with twelve outings already in his career. It was a moderate event he won at Brighton last time but his style of victory was impressive and he could prove the main danger to the selection who is Zippi Jazzman.
