Petite Parisienne and Flute Bowl look closely matched on Sandown running but both were well beaten and neither make much appeal in this. Grape Tree Flame and Bobs Lady Tamure are handicappers who look out of their depth so this may rest between JENNIES JEWEL and Jessber's Dream. The latter couldn't quite cope with the drop in distance when attempting a hat-trick at Taunton and will be better suited here. But Jarlath Fahey's mare deserves a change of luck after a couple of excellent efforts in decent company and should be staying on best of all in the conditions.
