Verdict
A competitive race, with some in form pointers. Jabiru looks the one to be with after a solid second at Cheltenham. Both Longstone Lad and Pallingham Lad have been in good form in points, but neither were any special when last running under rules. Getting the mares allowance, Sea Spirit could prove to be the main danger.
