LAUGHING JACK has made the frame over shorter trips on the Polytrack recently. He's gone close over hurdles before so this longer trip holds no fears and he gets the nod. Timocracy won at Windsor under today's apprentice last month and can figure again along with Eagle Nebula, whose close-up fourth at Newmarket last time entitles him to consideration. Maydream had Shades Of Grey behind at Bath recently but usually saves her best for that track but Castlemorris King and Ninfea have claims on the best of last year's form.
