Verdict
COMEDIAN LEADER had the measure of Rebel Angel when scoring at Southwell and today’s penalty is negated by an apprentice’s allowance. The latter may finish a bit closer today while Twilight Jazz is due to be raised 4lb for finishing runner-up at Wolverhampton and his yard has hit top form. James Bradley looks up against it.
