The last time JAMESIE ran on Polytrack it was from a mark of 80 and he's improved to such an extent on turf that he's on 94 here. He faces no easy task but could just be good enough. Dickies Lad made a sparkling all-weather debut at Lingfeld when caught on the line by Capone. He's on the upgrade and should go well while it was no disgrace to see Gordon Lord Bryon finish third in a good race here a fortnight ago on his hat-trick attempt though he's been raised another 4lb. Mountain Coral gained his fourth success on the surface when beating Farmleigh House, Thats A Fret and Copper Dock over the C&D last week and an extra 5lb is unlikely to prevent another big effort.
