Verdict
Jelly Baby, Ablaj, Frambo and Danefonique are the four we like and the nomination is given to Jelly Baby. The selection is stepped into handicap company after winning a seller in convincing fashion over this course and distance last time. She was an expensive purchase and she looks a filly that might be worth following. Ablaj has been a little disappointing but he is a well-bred sort and the step up in trip will suit so he should be capable of better than he has shown so far. Frambo was well beaten here last time and will have to improve to trouble our selection, while Danefonique is proving hard to win with and once again looks worth taking on. In a race that will not take a great deal of winning, Jelly Baby is put forward as the confident choice.
