In depth
Verdict
GUNG HO JACK looks the safest option in an uninspiring sprint. He landed a double at Wolverhampton last month and John Best's charge is only 2lb higher for this. Shawkantango has done all his winning over the minimum trip while Lastkingofscotland keeps finding at least one too good though his turn will come soon. Rambo Will is usually thereabouts at this level but Key Ambition looks a bigger danger having finished much closer over C&D last time. Dark Lane makes a quick reappearance after Saturday's third to Fathsta, who runs earlier on the card.
