Jojesse gets the confident vote here with Darcy's Pride and Windjammer rating the main dangers. The selection won with a little in hand last time out when beating Kilvickeon and although rising in the weights he looks progressive and he is taken to defy the handicapper. Darcy's Pride rates the main danger but he was behind the selection last time out and although better off at the weights he still has a little to find. Windjammer is another that could go well on his latest third behind Pickering as he is sure to have come on for the run and should be watched in the market. Of the remainder, Minimum Fuss has the ability to go close off this mark but does not always use it and for the winner we return to Jojesse.
