In depth
Verdict
Union Jack Jackson has the best form on show and gets the vote over Sundried Tomato and Cayman King. James Given's four-year-old beat the good yardstick A Teen at Southwell in early April and wasn't disgraced next time when a close up third behind Misty Princess at Wolverhampton. He does have to give weight away all round this afternoon, but this looks a weaker race and he should return to winning ways. Sundried Tomato was successful in a weak contest here at Southwell recently, beating Union Jack Jackson, but does look up against it with the selection on subsequent Wolverhampton running. Cayman King has strong claims on the pick of last season's form and has to be considered for place purposes. The pick of the remainder could be Tuscan Flyer, but the best recent form comes from Union Jack Jackson and this one gets our vote.
