In depth
Verdict
Three of these showed promise on their respective debuts with JUPITER ALLEN finishing closest. The latter found one too good at Newton Abbot and is preferred to Junior Des Bordes, who finished third of five runners under today’s conditional at Ffos Las. Eagle Of The Glen steps up in trip on the back of a fourth at Musselburgh while Just Over Land is a brother to a bumper winner and Spirit D'aunou is related to winners on the Flat in France.
