Verdict

FLYING AMANI (1) comes back in grade today after getting well back and closing off nicely over this course and distance most recently. Purton hopping on board now is a good push for his chances and he looks poised to strike coming back in grade today. YOUNG HORIZON (2) is another who comes back in grade today after showing good promise prior to his most recent outing. He was a winner under similar circumstances back in November with Teetan on board. Can play a leading role. SOARING BRONCO (6) went back to 7f last start and closed off strongly from near the back of the pack. Orman remains in the irons and getting out in trip again looks a big tick with the winkers going on. Can get back to winning ways. JOLLY JUMPER (9) got the job done by 1.3L as favourite last start. Can cross, be on the speed and turn in a bold sight.
