Lost Glory is chasing a hat-trick after wins at Ffos Las and Huntingdon and should stay the longer trip around here. Inishrush is another in-form chaser having won three of his last four starts, while Runshan goes well here and came back to form when beating Dusty Dane by six lengths over 3m2f at Plumpton 10 days ago. Persian Run has more to do than when winning a three-runner race at Exeter, however, while Ere Alfie may need more time after pulling up on his reappearance at Market Rasen. Corrick Bridge may have too much weight so the vote goes to POWER PACK JACK, who ran his rivals ragged at Perth last month after a long lay-off. He has plenty of scope and, providing that hasn't taken too much out of him, can follow up today.
