AJEEB has been running well in handicaps without actually getting his head in front and looks to have a good opportunity to put that right here. Best in at the weights, he should have enough leeway to care of a trio of recent winners. Bert The Alert may have trouble confirming his recent C&D win on worse terms with Honey Of A Kitten while Activate beat much lower rated rivals when an easy winner of a seller at Wolverhampton last time. Conducting is also facing a more difficult task having finally put an end to his long losing run over track and trip a week ago.
