Emma Lavelle holds a strong hand but the promising JEMIMA P makes most appeal and can complete her hat-trick. She hasn't been seen since late May when a comfortable Ffos Las winner, prior to which she scored easily here. She can take the move up to Class 3 in her stride on the evidence to date. Stablemate Shiroccan Roll needs to improve and No Comment is seen as the prime threat despite a losing run stretching back to early 2017. He continues to suggest a win is on the books and should run his race once again. The Golden Rebel is hard to assess at present and therefore the consistent hurdler Finisk River completes the shortlist on this chasing debut.
