All have a fair shout but JACBEQUICK produced a nice performance under a canny ride from today's pilot when scoring at Newton Abbot and can handle a 4lb rise for that success with conditions in his favour. Manor Park was certainly flattered by how close he was to Longhouse Sale last month but it was a creditable effort all the same on just a second start over timber and this Flat winner could prove well treated on this handicap bow. Cantop disappointed over fences last time and may prove happier returned to timber off joint topweight and recent Flat winner at Epsom, Nabhan, has to be of interest after that success back hurdling off a tempting mark.
