Apache Jack is no longer the force of old and although he has dropped to a handy mark, he is best watched on his first outing for a new yard, while Prettylittlething needs some help from the handicapper. There could be more to come from Shady Glen who managed a career best performance when winning at Market Rasen last time and the booking of Richard Johnson is eye-catching, but preference is for BROTHER SCOTT. He has been in good form this summer and showed plenty of fight when making all over course and distance last time. He has won off this mark before and should be able to follow up here.
