Verdict
Jeremy The Jinn had a good chance in the 2.30 Taunton yesterday. Red Vision will need to jump better than at Sedgefield while Mcpherson was 0-8 on the Flat in Ireland. LORD OF CHESHIRE was only headed on the run-in here two weeks ago. That wasn’t much of a race but this isn’t much better and the Twiston-Davies runner might find the improvement necessary to hold off Mister Marbles, who has had wind surgery since disappointing over Christmas at Chepstow.
