Verdict
Some moderate stayers get together for this and JEWELLERY may be able to sparkle. James Fanshawe's filly sports a first-time visor after failing to convince over a similar trip at Wolverhampton last time. She has slipped to what should be a very competitive mark and with plenty of encouragement from her pedigree is well worth another try over this trip. Voysey is stepped up from 1m 4f and may appreciate that from a slipping handicap mark, while Jennerous Blue is already proven over this far and is weighted to get involved. Oak Leaves would be interesting if backed, although there have to be grounds for concern over her stamina.
