Pettochside is two from two here but the handicapper has been firmly in charge for a while and Summerghand has also struggled since reassessed. Bungee Jump will likely take these along but is always vulnerable to a finisher. Charles Molson has been in better form lately but over 7f. HART STOPPER handles all types of going and has a good strike-rate for a sprinter. He is on a new career-high mark today but Jamie Spencer should find him plenty of cover from stall one and he can pounce late for another victory. Helvetian makes most appeal of the remainder.
