JEBEL TARA won this in 2013 when completing a four-timer, three of the victories coming on this track. He was caught close home by Findog on a return visit at the beginning of the month but can take his revenge on the winner, who prefers faster ground, and gain his eighth victory. Rock Canyon is a rare performer over this trip but will enjoy the conditions and wasn't stopping when producing a fine effort at Ayr last time where he had Opt Out and Pitt Rivers behind. The latter was having his first start since October and is better over this trip so could reverse the places.
