Verdict

JIMMY SPEAKING has returned an improved performer in 2026 and emerged with credit having raced up with a strong gallop in a higher grade than this at Epsom last time. He's preferred to Cadarn, who retains handicapping scope on the back of his shock York win, and recent C&D winner Jesmond Dawn.

  1. JIMMY SPEAKING
  2. CADARN (IRE)
  3. JESMOND DAWN (IRE)
