2021:NO CORRESPONDING RACE LAST YEAR

PLAY SMARTER A case can be made for all 5 on paper but JUNIOR DES BORDES seems sure to know more this time so a jump forward on his Market Rasen form seems inevitable. Jupiter Allen also displayed ability on his debut, while Eagle of The Glen offered enough in a bumper to make him of interest, too.
