Verdict
The softer the ground the better for JAUNTY INFLIGHT (NAP), who can go one better than over hurdles at Exeter nine days ago racing off the same mark. Musselburgh third Fields of Glory won on a similar surface over hurdles and is having only his third start over the larger obstacles. Leg Lock Luke is surely better than he showed when favourite at Plumpton, but Malanos and Very Live are making their seasonal reappearances and probably best watched.
