In depth
Verdict
Jane Of Arc looked on the way back to form last time and is a tentative choice in a wide open race, Dechiper and Farne Island could be the main dangers. The Jim Goldie trained three-year-old put in some solid efforts last season, including a placed run behind Sans Reward. That winner is rated ninety and so potentially Jane Of Arc is on a very fair mark. she was only beaten a length in a competitive race at Ayr last time out and that could be a sign that she is about to come back to her best. Dechiper was successful over course and distance last time out and has only been raised three pounds so must come into the argument. Meanwhile Farne Island ran well enough behind Doctor Scott last time to be put forward as an each-way selection. The pick of the others could be Colditz, but Jane Of Arc does look the pick of the weights on last season's form and she gets our vote.
