It's not entirely clear whether Supernoverre and Valkyrie will stay this trip which can't be said of JA ONE, who scored with plenty in hand over this stamina test last time and we side with Barry Hills' runner. Having shown some ability in several starts the selection put to bed any doubts that she has stamina by waltzing to a two lengths victory on her polytrack debut at Lingfield. She's up three pounds for that which seems fair and with stamina doubts around her rivals she should go in again. Valkyrie has been on a bit of form recently making the frame on her last two starts. She has given the impression a step up in trip is needed but you have to take her suitability for this test on faith. The same could be said for Supernoverre, who does have a good record at this track, and if taking to the extra yardage he looks off a good mark. M'Lady Rousseur also has it to prove at this trip but also form to overturn on the one we've just mentioned so with stamina assured we like Ja One.
