Racing Post verdict
Third-partyJabbar heads this eight-runner contest over seventeen furlongs at Wexford with a clear edge in our assessment, rated 3 lb clear of Mode Avion and 12 lb ahead of Tassarolo, and he sets the standard on our figures. Mode Avion represents the most pressing threat and will need to close that gap on the day, while Tassarolo and Shaboozee complete the dangers for the places. **Jabbar** is our selection.
