Irish import NOBLE JACK scored at Wolverhampton on his first start for Jo Hughes. He won with a bit in hand on that occasion and looks capable of following-up in this similar company. Taqaat has tumbled down the weights and finished closer recently as a consequence including when third over a shorter trip here last month. He has claims along with Tallevu while the likes of Standpoint, Croquembouche and Gold Sceptre all have the past form to figure if back to something like their best.
