In depth
Verdict
Union Jack Jackson is out to get recent losses back and can do so at the expense of Misty Princess, with Cleveland Way, Ace Club and A Teen perhaps able to play a small part between them. This should revolve around the first two mentioned, with preference much for Union Jack Jackson. James Given's charge should have beaten Misty Princess when they met over the course-and-distance six days ago, but idled in the closing stages and was overhauled and beaten a neck, with Cleveland Way and A Teen not far behind. A look at today's weights reveals that Union Jack Jackson is fully six-pounds better off with Misty Princess, and that should be more than enough to turn the tables. In addition he should certainly hold Cleveland Way and A Teen again and has obvious claims. The remainder should not be involved in the finish based on past form, and Union Jack Jackson is a confident selection to finally open his account.
