Verdict
Samuel Jackson has been raised 4lb for winning a similar contest over today’s trip at Taunton when Pobbles Bay fell. The latter has since gone close back at the same track in soft going while REGAL FLOW finished a well-beaten third behind Samuel Jackson but showed signs of a resurgence when a close-up third in a Class 2 contest at Ascot last time. Bob Buckler’s veteran should be in the mix if in the same mood and gets the vote with this longer trip sure to suit. It would be no surprise to see Get On The Yager return to form dropped in class with a tongue-tie and cheekpieces added but Dell' Arca continues to struggle and Henllan Harri is hard to catch right.
