In depth
Verdict
Paul Blockley has been in tremendous form and his two entries here Daunted and Altitude Dancer should both be in at the finish, however for the selection we will side with Jamaican Flight. This 11 year old still has plenty of enthusiasm for the game and is certain to come on for his recent course and distance effort behind Vanbrugh. His previous Southwell form is of a good standard and he has been given a fighting chance by the handicapper. Daunted was an impressive winner over a shorter trip here last time and may just find one or two too good over this distance. Altitude Dancer is making his Southwell debut and has been in decent form over the sticks. His flat form during the summer was of a fair level and he is sure to make his presence felt. Stolen Song.has been tried at all sorts of distances and must have a squeak on some pieces of form. It is interesting to see Terdad back on the flat for the first time in almost seven years. He represents good connections and it wouldn't be a major surprise if he was in the shake up, however in a very difficult contest we will stick with Jamaican Flight.
