A poor contest where Tumble Jill can prevail from Sad Times and Flying Lion, and where stakes should be kept to a minimum. The selection was beaten under two lengths by Sad Times when the latter won at the seventh attempt over this trip on fast ground at Yarmouth last time, with Flying Lion not much further away in third. Tumble Jill is now 13lb better off with Sad Times and clearly well weighted to reverse the form with him here and we expect her to do just that. Flying Lion is not as well treated by these weights but can still turn the tables on the top weight and chase home the winner. Reflective Glory is probably best of the remainder from a yard in form, but we will take Tumble Jill to score.
