This looks wide open but we will give the tentative vote to Jools with both Macademy Royal and Imperium both worth noting. Jools has been making hay while the sun shines lately. He bids for his hat-trick here after two previous course and distance wins. With only a three pound rise in the weights he doesn't look too harshly treated and if repeating his other efforts he can score once more. Macademy Royal has run well to finished second over five and six furlongs in his last two outings and should be noted as he steps up to seven furlongs this time around. He comes into the race in fine form so should be one to note. As will Imperium who caught the eye at Lingfield last time out when second to Joy And Pain. A repeat performance can see him go close. But for the winner we return to Macademy Royal.
