Jarlath represents last year’s winning trainer/jockey combination though he hasn’t raced n the Flat since 2015. Rydan narrowly got the better of Orin Swift at Chelmsford recently and can race off a lower mark back on Turf. He’s preferred to stablemate High Command while Sufi has been thereabouts over shorter trips and could figure. Sky Marshal went close over 2m at Chepstow on his penultimate start but JAM SESSION won over today’s trip at Newmarket in August and Ian Williams’ charge makes more appeal than stable companion Wolfcatcher on that form and gets the vote.
