In depth
Verdict
Jepeck has been running well enough off this sort of mark but he’s still yet to win under Rules. LEITH HILL LAD’s victory at Kempton earlier this month has been franked and he may be capable of overcoming a 4lb rise as collateral form gives him the beating of Towcester winner Dontminddboys on these terms. Cadeau Du Bresil only beat two rivals when winning at Towcester and had his limitation exposed next time at Warwick. Royal Tara and Blackmill have been out of sorts for a while.
