Whaleweigh Station is the only one with any recent winning form but he looks high enough in the weights now having landed a double at Kempton last month. NOBLE DEED also completed a double at this time last year and is 7lb lower today. He gets a speculative vote to return to form as he also drops down in class. He’ll need to reverse latest running here with runner-up Head Space while New Rich was second at Kempton on his penultimate start and Pharoh Jake can pop-up at this level when the mood takes him.
