Verdict

In a modest event it looks best to stick with the in-form JAZZ THYME, doing little wrong at the moment and has been found a weak race to get off the mark in. The rest really are much of a muchness - maybe The Lion Man could go a bit better after a break, and this trip might suit him better than further. Mr Mafia hits the frame here more often than not and may do so again.
