      Verdict

      Jinky was a progressive two-year-old but finished last at Ayr on his first start since 2010 and the jury is out on him. THE NIFTY FOX is enjoying a bit of a purple patch and went close to recording a hat-trick when beaten only a head at Ayr last week. He's fancied to go close again and can confirm latest running with Crimson Knot and Amenable while he had both Liberty Island and Sandwith behind when scoring over C&D earlier. Bronze Beau is capable in this grade but out of sorts at present and the lightly-raced Moorhouse Girl makes more appeal.
