PLAY SMARTER
Having showed much improved form when getting off the mark at the sixth time of asking, JACKSBAR may be able to follow up that victory if in the same sort of form 3 months on. The biggest threat may come from Sweet Caryline who is also lightly-raced and has proved she can mix it at this level. Nobody’s Perfect showed some promise on her final qualifying run and despite not running up to form last time, she has a chance if she can bounce back.

ALL INN HAND shaped encouragingly when staying on over an inadequate trip last time and now facing a greater test of stamina, she makes plenty of each-way appeal with Sean Bowen taking over in the saddle. River Voyage will be facing quicker ground conditions but warrants plenty of respect on the back of his facile Ffos Las success, while the versatile Coconut Twist merits consideration following another creditable effort at Chepstow last month.
