Young Jackie has won twice here over 1m2f but this may be too far. Repechage is also better over shorter but old-timer Megalala has two course and distance victories to his name and has been running well this year. HERMOSA VAQUERA won by 10 lengths over track and trip last month and should confirm that form with Sakhra, Ron Waverly and Lady Percy despite the revised terms. He's since run well over hurdles at Plumpton, when Comedy House was well beaten, so should be tough to beat.
