Old Jewry scored over 2m5f at Kelso in November and 2m1f at Carlisle last month. Runner-up at the latter track on Saturday, he looks certain to get into contention. UNIQUE COMPANY, beaten half-a-length in that event last month, can gain revenge on slightly better terms and quicker ground as he was only headed close home. Let's Sway was beaten in a Wetherby seller last time while Jedhi, three-times a winner on the Flat, has yet to reach a place over hurdles but Royal Cosmic has won his share of races and has now dropped to a winnable mark.
