Verdict
Placed at the track earlier, JEWELLER relished the step up to 2m when returning a wide-margin winner here last week. Sir Michael Stoute’s colt should have no problem shrugging off a penalty in this company despite today’s burden. Fountain Of Life finished in front of Sibylline when they filled the places over a shorter trip here last month with Miss Swift back in fifth. That form looks likely to be confirmed in this while Que Quieres has shown nothing so far.
