Verdict
JASH was sent off favourite at Newmarket on his racecourse debut and dispatched the opposition with an impressive four-length success. Entered in the Middle Park, he’s taken to defy a penalty with Jim Crowley preferring his chances to those of Alsimsaam, who had gone close at Lingfield on his earlier debut. Happy Power won nicely at Hamilton recently when beating a subsequent winner while Conspiritor showed a big improvement in a higher grade at Goodwood last time but the newcomer Lethal Missile will need to be above average to figure.
