Swansea Jack scored over the C&D last month and followed up a fortnight later at Kempton. He's much higher in the weights now but didn't stay a mile last time and this is his trip. The lightly-raced Foxley is another who should prove best over the trip as he's been fading over a mile while the prolific winner Cativo Cavallino is just 1lb higher than for his last victory and is no forlorn hope to gain his 10th career success. Elusive Hawk won over 6f here last August from a higher mark so can't be ruled out nor can Irish raider Parc Aux Boules, who would enjoy some cut in the ground. FORKS began the campaign on a mark of 65 and had dropped to 57 for his latest effort at Leicester and almost took advantage. He looks ready to gain his first victory under his very competent claimer.
