JERSEY BULL is upped 6lb for winning at Kempton but wasn’t unduly troubled to score by nearly three lengths and can go in again. Two In The Pink went close over 1m2f here last time but is unproven over today’s trip and recent runner-up Goodby Inheritence was less than convincing in earlier attempts over further. Bamako Du Chatelet was sent off favourite over track and trip last time but clipped heels and fell while Perfect Rhythm, a dual course and distance winner last year, slips further down the weights.
