EJEED is in the midst of a purple patch at the moment having won back to back races over course and distance and we think the Zoe Davison trained gelding can land the hat-trick with Ocean Legend looking the main danger and Jonnie Skull a bit of each-way value. Off bottom weight here the selection was a comfortable winner last time under a penalty to set up the hat-trick bid and based on that run should still be capable of getting in front under this revised mark. Ocean Legend is also on form having only narrowly been denied by a form horse on his own followed up bid last time. The form from that last race has a solid look about it and he's still weighted to go well. Jonnie Skull is not the most consistent but more than talented enough on his day to run a big race. He's better treated now then when narrowly missing out at Southwell in December and he has to be respected off this mark. Cut And Thrust is also on the list after a good run last time with Moojeh holding claims after following a victory with a bold bid to follow up but the form horse is Ejeed, who looks fairly treated.
