      Verdict

      ROPEY GUEST is 0-12 on Turf and making his all-weather debut but George Margarson will be tearing out what is left of his hair if the Jersey Stakes fourth, who has placed four times at Group 3 level, doesn’t finally get his head in front. Fast Spin did win over this trip at Wolverhampton on his second start so could make it interesting while Sea Mood is Dirt-bred and cost 105,000gns as a yearling.
