Jackthejourneyman won this back in 2016 and scored here again back in March. But several have recent runs under their belts including McCabe Creek though he failed to figure in a couple of outings in this grade in September. Sad Eyed Dylan was still beaten a long way when runner-up over these fences on his chasing bow while DAREBIN (NAP) scored off a higher mark at Sandown back in March. Expected to be sharper for a recent outing at Fontwell, Gary Moore’s charge may well be capable of winning this. Broughtons Rhythm hasn’t raced since April but should be winning over fences this season and makes most appeal of the remainder.
