Verdict
BARJEEL would almost certainly have made a winning start at Newcastle last month had he not blown the start. Compensation awaits here, though he's unlikely to be much of a price and might need some luck in-running. Wealth Tax couldn't quicken over a mile here four weeks ago so dropping back a furlong might suit and he rates the danger as Jazz Cat ran poorly on her second start at Chepstow after a fair debut. Rockley Point and Rivers Of Asia have had a few chances while Spring Of Hope is a half-brother to a middle-distance winner, though should handle the surface.
