In depth
Verdict
Jaseur was a decent prospect in his younger days on the flat and was even sent off the favourite for the Ebor at one stage. However, he proved to be something of an enigma and is an unreliable character on occasions. That said if he puts in something like he is truly capable of, he would give them all something to think about in what is a marked drop in class from his last outing. That was only his second run in nine months and he should strip fitter on this occasion. The ideal trip for him has yet to be decided upon and this if anything could be his downfall. Haydens Field has no such stamina doubts and should cope with the step up in trip and is a reliable sort although he too has been seen out only twice in quite some time. Madam's Man will ensure that they will all have to be up for the challenge, although his lack of gears could again find him out in the closing stages.
