Verdict

Though JUMBLY has done most of her racing on fast ground, she was an easy winner of a listed event on heavy going as a 2-y-o and this represents a good opportunity for her to regain the winning thread. Big Gossey needs to bounce back but he is certainly capable of a bold show and is an appealing option for forecast purposes. Mutasarref and Yosemite Valley both look fairly solid but likely favourite Henry Adams is probably worth taking on given the recent record of 3-y-os in this race.

  1. JUMBLY
