Verdict

JESMOND DAWN has been in top form here, winning over course and distance a month ago before a close second just 8 days ago. Clearly thriving at present, he's taken to strike. Flying Fletcher returns to his favoured all-weather surface, while course specialist King's School completes the shortlist.
