Verdict

JET LEGS has yet to build on his initial promise, but he wasn't seen to anything like best effect at Ayr last time and is taken to strike with the longer trip promising to suit. The Gooner could prove a different proposition now venturing into handicaps up in trip, while The Imposter has been thriving of late and can give another good account.

  1. JET LEGS (IRE)
  2. THE GOONER (IRE)
  3. THE IMPOSTER (FR)
