Verdict
Eddie Jock is bound to be popular with backers looking for a third successive victory following his latest success in this grade at Newmarket but Michael Bell's colt may struggle to follow up off his new mark and preference is for Tencendur, who gets the vote ahead of another Northern raider Soviet Palace. The selection has run well in this grade of late, latterly when chasing home Feisty at Catterick. Trainer David Nicholls normally does well at this meeting and Tenendur is taken to give him another glorious winner. Just Dust has more to do than when landing a Newcastle claimer last time, while Disco Dan could probably do with some help from the handicapper. Richard Hannon's runners in this grade are always worth a second look and Baltic Belle is no exception but of more interest may be Kevin Ryan's Soviet Palace, who is less exposed than most. Tencendur looks to still be on a fair mark though and is taken to give his handler more success at the meeting.
