Verdict
The winning run of JORDAURA came to an end at Ayr last week but in much better company than this. He scored over 1m2f here before that and, despite a 4lb higher mark today, is fancied to return to winning ways confirming superiority with Rosselli and Zenafire in the process. Tenhoo seems to save his best for amateur races nowadays and finished third in one of those events over track and trip last time while Blazing Desert was demoted to fourth for interference having passed the post in second at Nottingham last time. Silver Tigress came up short in slow ground on her latest start but has very chance back on a fast surface.
