Duchess Of Gazeley has been expertly placed to complete a hat-trick but she now steps up in grade on a 5lb higher mark. Raskova looked certain to be suited by this trip when coming with a late run to score over 1m2f at Newbury and there's more to come as there undoubtedly is from Magog, whose two runs to date have been on soft ground. His latest effort behind Salutation at Nottingham has been boosted by the winner and it's possible Roger Charlton has been waiting for the ground to ease. JAZZ MASTER is by Singspiel out of a 1m4f winner and he's been performing with credit over shorter trips. He hasn't done himself justice so far but looks well enough treated and is handed the vote in a tricky finale.
