EXCELLENT JEM has been raised only 2lb for his recent win over track and trip and can confirm running with Going French. He's also preferred to Little Choosey who won her maiden at this track on her latest start. Fat Gary looks a danger dropping down in class after a better effort at Goodwood while Ray Of Joy is back on a winning mark if producing his best. Climaxfortackle could also figure on a going day but Dark Lane was still well beaten when runner-up at Bath last time.
