Farocco won at Perth back in May but a couple of these scored over course and distance last month. West End Lady won a mares’ only contest so Irish raider MR JACKMAN looks up to defying a penalty given the ease of a seven-length success. Schalke and Here We Have It step up in trip but High Moon placed over today’s distance at Carlisle recently and dual point-to-point winner Crystal Glory is worth noting on his debut under rules.
