AJDAAD won over C&D earlier this month and still carries a penalty despite finishing fourth here a week ago. However, Rosie Jessop's claim could make the difference today as this looks a less competitive affair and he gets the vote. Aerodynamic beat Pipers Piping by only a head over 7f here last time, though neither have won over today's trip before, while Miss Villefranche finished just ahead of Wigram's Turn at this track last time and she bids for a hat-trick off a 5lb higher mark. Stylistickhill and Belle Park are other recent course winners to consider.
