Jiroft is tumbling down the weights but his form on the all-weather is patchy to say the least. Stablemate Profile Star also needs more but Hamoody has been knocking on the door, though couldn't get anywhere near FITZ FLYER in a claimer over 5f here last month. It's difficult to oppose David Nicholls' charge is this one either with his young rider excellent value for her claim. Joyous and Thorpe Bay are facing stiff tasks at the weights so Invincible Ridge looks the danger on his form on Turf in Ireland as he makes his debut for Eric Alston, though he didn't sparkle in three runs at Dundalk.
