We said19th of 21, beaten 13½ at 40/1
JEL PEPPER 40/1
JEL PEPPER at 40/1, Stuart Williams and Marco Ghiani, is the one I want to be on here. He races off a mark 9lb below the 99 it won from back in October 2025, was staying on at the finish last time and comes from a yard in good heart at 24%.
The dangers are BADRI at 22/1 (went close off this mark) and DUBAI BLING at 25/1 (went close off this mark).
Non-runners: Trefor.
