Verdict
Jersey Wonder is back on the same mark as when successful over course and distance in April of last year and is race-fit like Presenting Yeats, who certainly wasn’t winning out of turn at Huntingdon last week but is carrying a penalty. HONOR GREY hasn’t run since only third when on a hat-trick at Worcester in May but he goes well fresh and remains lightly raced so might offer a bit of value against his two rivals.
