Barracuda Boy was successful at Haydock on his latest start in September and is lightly-raced on the all-weather. But he's never won off a mark this high while the handicapper may have also got a grip on Amadeus Wolfe Tone. MAJOR JACK (NAP) is two from two on Polytrack and had a bit in hand when scoring at Kempton at the start of September. Connections should have plenty of fun with him in the coming months and he'll take some stopping today. Elusivity hasn't won for more than two years but is leniently treated on his best form and could give the selection most to think about after a close-up fifth at Kempton. Expose also has place claims but Golden Amber may need this.
