A large-field event to close the card but, on a four-timer, Hollow Jo, with Kieren Fallon booked, catches the eye and gets the vote. He has risen a total of 21lbs since the first of those wins but won comfortably last time and might well be up to scoring again. The likes of Business Matters, Franksalot and Mannora have bits of form and can be given place claims, while Old Bailey is five pounds better off with the selection for the length he finished behind the selection at Carlisle last time. Overall, though, in what is a pretty modest event, it should be another Hollow Jo victory.
