Verdict

Collateral form suggests TINTINTIN, who is not quite as exposed as his likely market rival, should have the measure of Jupiter Allen on these terms. Grumpy Rosie, second in an Exeter bumper last month, makes her hurdling debut but is still preferred to Lucinda Russell’s pair Clovis Boy and Greenhill Gardens.
