Verdict

ABBEYHILL has shown much improved form upped in trip, getting off the mark at Plumpton in November before running at least as well when second at Taunton next time, so he looks to hold leading claims. Just Jess is now 2 lb lower than when winning this race in 2023 and can make her presence felt, with Howzat Hiris also one to note.
