Verdict
The front-running ENVOYE SPECIAL may fare better on this sharper track after weakening in the closing stages when fourth at Ffos Las. Jaunty Flyer also travelled strongly for a long way in that contest and eventually finished second, though there is no guarantee that form will be repeated. Blackjacktennessee is hard to catch right but the booking of Will Biddick for the once-raced Jethro Said catches the eye and Diable De Sivola and Drakes Well would both have a chance in a very modest hunter chase.
