Verdict
Troy Boy finished runner-up in a similar low grade handicap over track and trip last week. But Edgware Road wasn't far behind in third and both have decent claims on that form. Amber Moon finished a length ahead of Supa Seeker when second here in January and that pair are others to consider. MOVES LIKE JAGGER is the least exposed in the field and showed a big improvement last time on his return from a short break. Not beaten far in fifth, Phil McEntee's charge has enough scope to land this with only a modicum of improvement needed.
