Jatiluwih isn’t badly treated nowadays and Elizabeth Gale’s claim is a plus, though he is closely matched with Sirobbie on Newbury form last month. SPORTING ACE has been a model of consistency and, with cheekpieces added, may enjoy a change of luck today, though Loup De Maulde has done nothing but improve this season and looks a big danger. Heezer Geezer also has decent claims making his handicap debut, though he still has to prove he stays this far.
