Verdict
JUBILYMPICS was a long way behind runner-up Madera Mist in this last year and is only 1-9 over fences but she was mugged right on the line at Taunton last month and races off the same mark here so might be worth another chance. Glorious Lady was very disappointing at Newbury after an earlier win at Warwick but Barden Bella remains in good form and she should run her race again, despite a step up in class. Outonpatrol is preferred to Top And Drop of the others.
