In depth
Verdict
Union Jack Jackson is given the tentative vote here with both Elusive Warrior and Compulsion worth noting. The selection is weighted to win a race of this nature and although he was well beaten on his latest run he is better judged on his recent third to Blakeshall Quest on the Southwell all weather surface. Of the others top weight Elusive Warrior is a Southwell specialist having won four of his five races here. He ran well when second to Dancing Deano here over course and distance last time out and has to be treated with respect. Compulsion is only lightly raced so open to further improvement so any market moves should be noted. But for the winner we return to Union Jack Jackson.
