The three-year-old Jaycols Star has hinted at ability on a couple of occasions. Dew Pond should do better now going handicapping and top weight shouldn’t prevent a big run from Hard To Forget but Let's Get At It needs to up his game. Nicky Henderson boasts a healthy strike-rate with the runners he sends up here and DU DESTIN, who has had a wind operation since last seen, is his only runner on today’s card. He ran well for a long way in a higher grade at Kempton in April so is worth a market check in a race like this.
