Verdict
One Pursuit was making his seasonal bow on soft ground when well beaten here last month and is fancied to finish much closer to the winner, The Galloping Shoe, today. The latter was ending a long losing run on that occasion and given he's won on fast ground before, he's not easily dismissed off a 4lb higher mark. JACK'S REVENGE scored on a fast surface at Leicester in October and with a couple of good recent efforts on the Polytrack under his belt, George Baker's charge gets the nod to land this. Elspeth's Boy has proved best over shorter trips so far but a case can be made for My Mate Jake on last season's best form.
