In depth
Verdict
Union Jack Jackson has been in great form of late and can land this at the expense of Thornaby Green and Feast Of Romance. The selection won over six furlongs last time out and was staying on strongly at the time so this step up to seven should not pose as a problem. Thornaby Green is having his first run of the season. He did win over a mile last year but he may be in need of the outing to fully wind himself up. Feast Of Romance looked good when beating Noorain by two and a half lengths last time out over course and distance so any market moves should be noted. But for the winner we return to Union Jack Jackson.
