This looks modest fare in contrast to the rest of the meeting but JACKO'S BOY could follow up a bloodless success at Plumpton earlier this week under today's pilot. His assured fitness and the confidence derived from that success may combine to see him home once again, although he has not always looked the most reliable in the past. Kilvergan Boy is the safe option as he has compiled a solid and consistent profile and looks one of the few sure to run his race. He warrants a place on any shortlist. Don't Tell Nina has joined rookie trainer Fergal O'Brien from Paul Webber and could be interesting on this seasonal reappearance, especially as the O'Brien team enjoyed a winner at Carlisle on Thursday.
