Verdict
JUBILYMPICS was no match for the progressive Oscar Rose at Kempton last time but won at Fakenham before that and is only 2lb higher today. Agent Valdez also won on her penultimate start when successful at Leicester but is 9lb higher while Born In Borris drops in class for her second outing over fences and may figure. Whatsdastory placed at Southwell on her chasing bow but got no further than the first fence at Doncaster last time.
