JAGANORY was raised only 3lb for winning at Chepstow with Indian Tim back in fourth and went close to winning again when runner-up over a slightly longer trip here last time. He is reunited with winning partner Ed Greatrex for this and can go one better. Limerick Lord is usually thereabouts without threatening to score and Zuzinia was expected to do better than fifth over track and trip back in June. Lady Zodiac is another who tends to come up short off similar marks while Air Of York has failed to figure since winning here earlier in the year.
