In depth
Verdict
An open if modest contest in which it may be worth giving JAFFATHEGAFFA one more go. He's yet to get his head in front after 16 starts which obviously tempers enthusiasm for his chance but he's well treated off this mark on the best of his form and has shown fair form since joining Gary Moore in June. Kerrera is respected after a much-improved run last time but stable form remains a concern and Deftera Lad could prove a livelier threat if turning up here just a couple of days after a respectable Wolverhampton effort. He's moving down the weights to a potentially interesting mark. Both Puffin Island and Rainbow Sign are in fair form and can get involved.
