JAMACHO is tremendously game and took his winning streak to four with victory in a higher grade at Stratford. Three of those victories have come on that track but it will take an improved performance from one of his rivals to lower his colours. Get Back Get Back and Magic Dancer are both strong travellers but may lack the resolution of the selection in the closing stages. Vision Clear wasn’t beaten far off this mark at Fontwell and Karakoram will also be pressing the places again, though both may come up short again.
