In depth
Verdict
Any further easing of the ground would help Jackhammer. Clay Regazzoni and Markazi finished 1-2 over 1m1f here last month but both have risen up the weights as a consequence and ENGLES ROCK wasn’t beaten far in fourth having been given plenty to do. Lucinda Russell’s charge could be the value in this if Sean Kirrane can keep him closer to the pace. Ayr winner Gweedore has only been raised 2lb and isn’t out of this but a first-time hood would need to revive the fortunes of Bulls Aye.
