JACBEQUICK (NAP) was having his first start since July when going close over track and trip last month. This looks an easier opportunity and he’s taken to confirm latest running with fourth-placed Briardale and go one better having recorded all three previous wins at this venue. Skiddaw Valleys won over 1m6f at Catterick in September and is not badly weighted on that form while Play Nicely won three times at Southwell earlier in the year and can race off a lower mark today given he has yet to win on Turf. Freight Train has struggled since scoring at Redcar in October and Cyril remains out of form.
