Jufn hasn’t many miles on the clock and returned to winning ways at Chepstow last month. Road To Dubai stays further but has won twice over this trip at Goodwood this year. Roar, on the other hand, has never raced beyond a mile though did show some promise on his first start since being gelded at Chester. Azzir ran well at Haydock last month off today’s mark but this looks a good opportunity for The Queen’s Dubawi gelding SWIFTSURE (NAP) to follow up a very easy win at Pontefract – he appeared to handle soft ground well enough at Salisbury last year.
