In depth
Verdict
Iskander, Jubilee Street and Tony Tie are three against the field in this handicap and the vote is given to Jubilee Street. The selection won a touch cozily at Doncaster last time when narrowly getting the better of Rezzago. He is in cracking form at present and in his current mood he is difficult to oppose. Iskander was narrowly beaten behind Growler at Carlisle last time and he is another with decent claims here. This is a more difficult race but he does have his optimum ground conditions again today and he should go well. Tony Tie is on a handy mark at present and he caught the eye when a good third behind Double Vodka over 1m2f at Ayr. The drop back to 1m will suit and he will hard to keep out of the frame. Topton is not the most consistent but he could be capable of going well at a decent price if he is in the mood, while Silverhay is another who would have claims on the pick of his form. However, in an open handicap we will side with Jubilee Street.
