Verdict
Jobsonfire is in flying form but this looks a bit better than the races he’s contested in rattling up a hat-trick and a penalty for his latest success at Carlisle won’t aid his cause. Pemberley may benefit from a drop back in trip but the maiden Sandymount Rose is steadily improving and Call Me Sid has been knocking on the door. Little Red Lion returned to action with a second at Lingfield but a tries a new trip, though has more scope than Rosserk Abbey. MISTER MURCHAN has been raised a further 3lb but is at the top of his game at present and stays well so is fancied to return to winning ways.
