An impressive winner of a mares' listed race over C&D as a novice, JUBILEE ALPHA returned better than ever when an unlucky runner-up behind fast-improving Sweet Caryline at Wincanton and may have the class to defy top-weight in a competitive handicap. Siog Geal ended her novice campaign on a high and could prove the main danger following an encouraging return, while it would be no surprise if Dan Skelton had 2023 winner Nurse Susan primed to run another big race.
