Verdict

UP THE JAZZ has a solid profile from recent starts and is fancied to readily deal with al 3lb rise for winning at Musselburgh a fortnight ago. Glorious Kitty has also been in good form of late and must be taken seriously given she is unexposed over a mile. Volenti, Popeye Doyle and dual course winner Poet's Dawn are others with each-way credentials.

Top Tip: Up The Jazz (3)
Watch out for: Glorious Kitty (2)

Up The Jazz ended a losing run at Musselburgh last time and must go well once more up 3lb, but it's GLORIOUS KITTY who is the selection. She failed in her bid for a hat-trick last time, but that run came on softer ground than usual and still ran right up to her best. She's got conditions in her favour here and can get back to winning ways. Precious Spartan isn't the most consistent but he's on a competitive mark if bouncing back from a lesser effort last time.
