In depth
Verdict
Pat Shanahan is striking while the iron is hot with Wee Jock, who was well supported for a seller here last week and won convincingly. This isn't much stronger so another big run is anticipated despite a penalty. Minty Jones has a very poor strike-rate and was a 33/1 chance when runner-up in an amateurs' event here last month while Harpers Ruby has only ever won at Wolverhampton. Roman Times won here in August but has changed stables and finished last in her two recent runs so the vote goes to LADY JOANNA VASSA, a winner at Leicester on soft ground around this time a year ago.
