Eskimo Jack is in the form of his life at present and is taken to land the hatrick with Admiral Peary and Missy Moscow rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Francies Boy and although higher in the weights here he again has conditions to suit and against mostly out of form rivals he looks the one to be on. Admiral Peary rates the main danger on his latest second behind Blaze Ahead but that form has since been let down and he is taken on with this in mind. Missy Moscow is another that could go well as she won well over course and distance last time when beating Cockspur but this looks tougher and she looks vulnerable under his penalty. New Time is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but he is often let down by his jumping while Twisted Logic is on a handy mark but he looks as if age is catching up with him and for the winner we return to Eskimo Jack.
