      Verdict

      Shantou Breeze and Time Book were both placed last time but beaten a long way and, though this won't take much winning, we'd rather stick with JAMESSON who did at least get his head in front at Plumpton. Jamie Snowden's eight-year-old is 5lb higher here but Gavin Sheehan's claim takes care of the extra and he makes more appeal than stable companion Queen Of The West and the now-visored Dr Thistle.
