Join The Clan was second here in November but he’s run more bad races than good since. Cabragh hasn’t really got any form on ground this quick but he would have claims on his third at Doncaster two runs ago. Little Windmill won a couple of times in the autumn but has been off the track for six months and no-one could deny that MASTER JAKE deserves a change of luck. Dan Skelton’s charge has found only one too good off similar marks in his last four runs and should take all the beating if handling this quicker surface. Make Me A Fortune has run eight times over fences but only been placed three times.
