In depth
Verdict
This represents a drop in class for Jabulani, who has struggled since winning his maiden on the All-Weather. There must also be a doubt about the trip, for there is plenty of stamina on the dams side and he showed he stays well, when winning over further than this at Wolverhampton. Paul Cole has two runners in this and the pick of them could prove to be Jan Brueghel, who takes a significant step up in trip. However, this looks best left to Eagles High, who comes here in good form, handles most types of ground and stays this trip.
