Verdict
Sail Away’s chase form stands up to scrutiny and he is worth a second look here, despite having a first run since May of last year. But we’re prepared to give another chance to JETOILE, even though his progress stalled a little last time at Wetherby. Parliament Hill may be in need of a confidence-booster while In Excelsis Deo stopped as if shot at Warwick after winning at Hereford so has a bit to prove now.
