Navan fifth Jumbo John must go on the short-list here while Latin Connection is a regular visitor from across the Irish Sea and can't be ignored. Reaping The Reward is a course and distance winner and Notarfbad won at Wincanton last month, though disappointed at Stratford subsequently. Overpriced hasn't been disgraced since returning from a break while King's Chorister won over track and trip last month, though is 2lb wrong in the weights in this and was well beaten by URBAN KODE here earlier. With Craig Nichol taking off 8lb, Lucinda Russell's charge can follow up over the longer trip
