Verdict

A multiple winner on the all-weather over today's trip, JEZZA is relatively unexposed on this surface, having won one of his previous four starts on the Flat. He's preferred to Almost Gemini, another regular winner on Polytrack, but Tijori landed a double at Chepstow earlier in the season and arrives on the back of a victory over hurdles at the same track. McVicar and Pateese have also been racing over jumps recently while Decana and No Such Number can be given a chance on their form over shorter trips.
