Jaarih opened his account when landing a claimer over 5f at Southwell recently but faces different conditions today. Head Space showed some improvement for a slide down the weights when second at Kempton last month but BUSH WARRIOR makes most appeal. He found only Jammy Guest, who has since gone in again, too good over track and trip last time and can race off the same mark. Major Muscari has been thereabouts in lower grade sprints of late while Picansort continues to slip down the weights and could bounce back at any time.
