Superefficient has been making the frame and is fitted with a set of blinkers in an attempt to record a first victory under Rules in 20 attempts. Jaxlight won at Southwell last month but has been a beaten favourite twice since, though is quite consistent. Jessica Rabbit has improved a little lately and still has time on her side but PERCY PROSECCO has been in fine form on the Flat and should take all the beating if transferring that improvement back to hurdling.
