Where's Jeff was a disappointing favourite here at the start of the month and is proving hard to place but Chinese Spirit was winning for the third time this season at Musselburgh, where Royal Countess only beat one home. End Zone has won over an extended mile at Wolverhampton so should stay this trip. He likes it here and Hostelry has won over course and distance so is another for the shortlist but it’s about time the three-year-old GLITTERING CHOICE was getting his head in front.
