Verdict
Upped 7lb for winning a handicap, Jazzy won a maiden race here over 1m4f earlier but the remainder step up in distance. That shouldn't be a problem for STREET DUEL, despite winning over 7f at Southwell last month, as he is a half-brother to St Leger winner Arctic Cosmos. A winner over a mile at Wolverhampton, Lord George is another who should stay on breeding while Prince Of Arran was doing his best work at the finish when scoring over a mile here in November. Real Dominion gets first-time headgear on his reappearance and Knight Commander looks pretty exposed.
