In depth
Verdict
Kylie Rules did well from a wide draw at Beverley 11 days ago, just behind Poet’s Dawn, and has won here in the past, though has again been unlucky with her starting position. Strawberry Jack is best watched having run poorly at Chelmsford when last seen but Mythical Madness has rediscovered his zest since joining David O’Meara and followed up a comeback win at Yarmouth with an excellent second at Pontefract last week when given plenty to do. Queen's Sargent arrives off the back of a third at Newcastle but we fancy LITTLE JO to prove his Newcastle victory was no fluke – that form is working out better than expected.
