Verdict
NAJEEBA looks worth sticking with in this given her progressive profile. She completed a hat-trick on the Tapeta with a facile success at Wolverhampton last time and can defy a 7lb rise. Jasmine Joy should have come on for last month’s pipe-opener here and can figure while Scampi may improve for today’s application of a hood. Pride Of Priory has finished tailed off in both outings so far this year having recorded a double last term.
