This looks between JALLOTA and My Target. The former won a Listed race last year and is at his best over today’s trip while the latter notched-up a four-timer over a mile at Lingfield last winter. Charlie Hills’ charge is taken to edge proceedings with the remainder having plenty to do on these terms. Amazour won a handicap at Doncaster in September though Brittanic is less exposed and further progress is expected from him this year but Nelson's Hill looks to have an impossible task at the weights.
