Jenkins has more on his plate than winning over 2m at Kempton last week, though his rider’s claim helps offset an 11lb rise and he still makes more appeal than stable companion Burbank. Le Breuil, like Air Horse One, could do with some help from the handicapper, though his Aintree conqueror followed up at Warwick last week. Arthur Moore’s CROSSED MY MIND (NAP) has run a couple of solid races over 2m this season and was hampered when close up over 2m5f at Punchestown last April. With Jonjo O’Neill taking off 7lb, he may prove the pick of the weights today. Man Of Plenty rarely runs a bad race and deserves a change of luck so offers each-way value while Night Of Sin is from a yard in peak form. Caid Du Lin and Jabulani are others to consider while Oxwich Bay has plenty of scope so makes more appeal than a rejuvenated Thorpe and Vivas.
