Verdict
Gung Ho Jack makes a quick reappearance under a penalty after winning here on Wednesday. But his bid for a hat-trick may be foiled by last month's course and distance winner THE WEE CHIEF. An 8lb rise seems a bit harsh for winning his first race since 2012 but he won with plenty in hand on that occasion and can go in again. Bookmaker has been competing over 7f since beating Compton Prince and Reginald Claude over track and trip in January and could be thereabouts, as could Saskia's Dream off her current mark.
