In depth
Verdict
Jack Fuller has been a model of consistency and is worth chancing against Just A Touch, Erris Express and Spike And Divel. Jack Fuller likes to bowl along in the lead, and those tactics paid off at Taunton the time before last when he was ridden by today's pilot, James Davies. He has not gone up much in the weights, and if he can build up enough of a lead, the others may not get to him. Just A Touch hit winning form at Warwick last month, helped by the fact that they went a strong pace. As for Erris Express, he has the assistance of Graham Lee, so may show some improvement. Ex-Irish Spike and Divel has topweight to overcome on his chase debut but can pay to follow in time. For now though we prefer to stick with the proven form of Jack Fuller who can make all.
