Helfire was expected to do better here last time unpenalised for an earlier win but Danecase is upped only 2lb for scoring at Newbury last week and Dunnscotia beat With Approval at Kempton, though found one too good of today’s higher mark last time. Straits Of Malacca has a shout off his current mark but GUNG HO JACK drops down a grade after finishing runner-up over 6f on his reappearance and is worth another try over today’s longer distance.
