JUST LIKE THAT is marginally preferred to Evelith Echo and Ursumman. Evan Williams' charge is still relatively well treated off a mark of 98 and having exhibited fast finishing over shorter trips, the decision to go up to 2m4f seems a logical one. Evelith Echo likes fast ground though does tend to run in snatches. His chances last time out were compromised by vital errors. Ursumman is tried in first time cheekpieces. He has shown a decent level of form in Ireland during previous summer so the market must be closely watched. Nesnaas was a bitter disappointment and the trip today does not look his optimum. Phoenix Eye is hard to fancy. Just Like That appears to have been found a decent opportunity to land a big pot for connections.
