Verdict
Jeepydoff Meel has performed well in all four starts, the latter two over 2m4f where he's shown plenty of pace. But LIBBY's close fourth in a Doncaster Listed contest would be good enough for this and she receives plenty of allowances. She'd been coming up against very smart winners in her previous runs and led for a long way in a Naas handicap last month. Winning point-to-pointer One Big Bang probably needs further while Saraqael, a winner on the Flat at Galway, has made too many mistakes in both starts over timber.
